The weekend is basically the same, but with Mighty Mike at 8:30-11:00 replaced with Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz.
Each week will be different.
Next week:
8:30-11:00 - Pat the Dog
11:00-13:30 - Baby Looney Tunes.

Notice how New Looney Tunes, Looney Tunes Cartoons and Be Cool Scooby Doo are gone, that almost makes the schedule look like a full 24/7 Cartoonito channel, only Mr. Bean doesn't really fit, but ig they really like this show so who knows.

 

[Kosi Onochie]

Boom EMEA's schedule was only present on boomerangtvafrica.com.

 

[Francisque]

I still believe they're somehow gearing up for a Cartoonito rebrand in CEE, similar to how Latin America drastically and more controversially did earlier.

They can still show somehow more grown up content on Cartoonito, by giving it a "slightly" grown up block or something like that, but most grown up content would be lost...actually, a lot has been lost already

And Tom and Jerry airs on Cartoonito Italy, so...

no, Cartoonito only needs preschool stuff and nothing more. Period. the LA channel did a huge mistake

 

[Francisque]

What you and me think isn't important in TV terms, what is financially viable is.

I think a hypothetical Cartoonito CEE channel would have some "midway" Boomerang content, at least at first, in order not to alienate too much the former audience.

Anyway, let's see, nothing is sure, but it looks they're somehow heading for a Cartoonito channel

 

[RegularCapital]

There's a demographic overlap between Boomerang and Cartoonito, in the same way, there's also one between Boomerang and Cartoon Network. As I've said previously, I think they're possibly monitoring the Cartoonito block on Boomerang to see if it does well. So there's the possibility of Boomerang completely turning into Cartoonito, with some younger-skewing Boomerang shows remaining on Cartoonito, and the older skewing programming moving to Cartoon Network.

 

[thetellyweb]

Only change I'm seeing on the schedule for Boom UK in December is The Looney Tunes Show leaving.
It's slot at 13:00 will be replaced by Tom and Jerry Tales.

Are the images other than the first and last images, coming up or new episode promos?

Turkey: Masha's Tales will air the first episode on December 5

 

[narq]

Are the images other than the first and last images, coming up next episodes or new episode promos?

All of the pictures are from promos, the Scooby Tom and Jerry one is for a marathon, the one with Looney Tunes Cartoons is for new episodes, and the Mr. Bean image is just a generic promo.

Imagine launching Redraw Your World and exercising those rights on Boomerang.

the way I see it, all the CGI stuff would remain on Cartoonito, while the Warner Bros Animation shows (plus the European slapstick series) will move all to Cartoon Network.

I mean, at one point, the Romanian / Bulgarian feed of Disney Junior brought some Disney 90s animated shows between 2013 - 2016, they performed well but it's also mainly because they didn't have any other channel to show them on (and they didn't want to risk on Disney Channel, as they still want to keep that for older kids and teens only). But now, possibilities should be different, even for the WBD/Turner European channels.

 

[Francisque]

I don't know when this changed, and I don't know when this happened, but Boomerang Italy is now in HD : )

 

[zQwmy]

A bit ago, the Russian audio track stopped mentioning the time (with Moscow timezone). Instead, it didn't mention anything.

Now, it mentions the time in CET:

 

[Francisque]

Listening to "Central European time" coming from a Russian speaking announcer sounds so strange lol.

I'm just to used to MSK

Boomerang CEE Schedule and Highlights for December 2022
(in full detail)

- Looney Tunes Cartoons returns to the channel, with new episodes from season 4 premiering on 5th December. The show will replace New Looney Tunes (again) at 15:00 and 20:00 CET. The whole season 4 will be aired for one week, from Monday (5th) till Friday (9th December) with double premieres everyday. At this point I don't even know why are they still resimulcasting this show on Boomerang, when all the episodes have aired already on Cartoon Network CEE. Like I said on the other thread, they should decide already on which channel the show should go better.
- The Cartoonito block will turn altogether into marathon mode, for the holidays. From 5th December, everyday, two shows will air for three hours each as part of the block, two shows that will alternate and be swapped each week from 08.00 till 14.00 CET (with two Cocomelon shorts at 10.20 and 12.20 CET). This marathon-like block (which runs under the label "Christmas Storytime") will last the whole month, more exactly until 1st January of the new year.
- Continuing: Cocomelon (new Nursery Rhymes shorts will continue to air on the channel as fillers through the whole month) and Wintertime with Scooby-Doo and Tom & Jerry (until 01/01)

(Other) schedule changes:
- As part of the new holiday-themed Cartoonito marathons, Kingdom Force will return to the schedule after some months and will air on the first week of 5th-12th December, from 08.00 till 11.00 CET.
- Pat The Dog will also return to the daytime as part of this holiday Cartoonito block, airing on the week of 19th-25th December from 11.00 till 13.50 CET. In this case, the show will air both in and outside the Cartoonito block, something which we rarely get to see.
- The Scooby-Doo/Tom and Jerry Winter block will continue airing on weekends, but will expand on weekdays starting from 19th December, airing between the same timeslots of 16.00 and 19.00 CET.

[J10]

The news from the past months:

• Boomerang Africa became Cartoonito Africa with some of their laziness from the French team, who took over the channel in 2014/2015.
• Boomerang CEE has been replaced by Cartoonito CEE in March of this year.
• Boomerang MENA, Boomerang Nordic, and Boomerang Turkiye will all become Cartoonito on the same day, September 4th.
• Boing France has been replaced on April 3rd by Cartoonito, with their DOG staying as it is for sometime until it got replaced.
• RRtv added Latvia to the Nordic feeds of CN and Boomerang Nordic (Cartoonito Nordic by Sept 4th), which would lead to the current feeds to closure at any moment.
