Boomerang (US) News & Discussion II: Rebrand

[harry580]

Even if the channel and/or app are retired eventually, though, I can easily see the Boomerang name stick around in some way.

like maybe a name for a television studio or a film production studio or a imprint of dc comics for hanna barbera/ruby spears comics

I agree on the air part because they've had been airing the same T&J and LT shorts for years now and that's just getting very repetitive. The should update the shorts bc they play the same ones literally every week

Boomerang's ratings have grown... oddly

Yes they started being ad-supported in 2013 or possibly late 2012

The UK and the European versions, yes after it first launched.

this comment make me wonder,

what if boomerang usa got rebranded earlier than 2015 like around the time Cartoon Network got a new logo at the time, like imagine seeing the 2004 boomerang uk logo in the usa boomerang channel

But however, Latin America is the first to rebrand it with the 2015 look between September-October 2014.

I don't think the American executives would rebrand Boomerang with the European look around the mid-2000s.

well why can't they use the Latin American rebran- oh wait, they did that because boomerang was going live action in Latin America at the time

I remember they started playing non-CN ads part-time in 2013

 

[harry580]

so, boomerang used to be platinum or the only ads played on the network are related to cartoon network and maybe kids wb?

I looked in to it & your correct they were indeed there in 2013 (I found a break from 2013 that has non-CN ads here at 4:58) so they started in 2013 or maybe late 2012. I'm going to edit my post thanks for correcting me!

so, boomerang used to be platinum or the only ads played on the network are related to cartoon network and maybe kids wb?

Both, when they first started they were a premium channel that only aired CN ads, Boomerang exclusively made promos for the classic toons, Classic Toon clips & hand-me-down Groovies & Shorties from CN (Nothing for Kids WB as far as I know) during the breaks.

 

[D-nice is the man.]

Really? I remembered when Boomerang played Cartoon Network ads as early as 2010.

Boomerang has been playing Cartoon Network ads since it launched. I was talking about regular commercials. Sorry if I caused any confusion.
