I miss it when they would just play their promos and CN ads and those groovies. Also I wonder why they only air the CN ads at night. Does anyone else know why they do that?

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
Seems strange that MeTV seems to have more variety, and that channel isn't even owned by Warner.

well, boomerang is more to the kids stuff
I know that. What I don't know is if that's relevant to how much is being offered. My original point was that it's ironic that there's less variety on Warner-owned stations (Boomerang, plus CN back when they aired LT/T&J in the 2010s) than on one owned by a different company.

ok, we talking too much questions, just stick to boomerang
I originally just wanted to raise an interesting observation, one that may not have an answer right now. So I'll just leave it at that.

EDIT: I want to say that I can see some cartoons airing on MeTV that would be hard to show on CN/Boom nowadays (the ones with Speedy Gonzales spring to mind), but that doesn't explain everything airing exclusively on MeTV.

Boomerang (Channel 303 & 609) is now gone through my local Suddenlink (Altice) lineup.

Although, I'm still having Boomerang thru my current DISH package, but DISH's EPG system is a bit unreliable. Might as well go to Zap2It.

UPDATE: It dosen't seem that Optimum dropped Boomerang. So it's only for Suddenlink.

Hadn't been able to prepare for the Flintstones marathon that occurred Father's Day as I'd been busy the last couple weeks. If anyone knows, kindly please tell me how long it lasted for plus times? Thanks in advance!


Aside from that, bummer on Boom continuing to be dropped, but, the last few years I've kept prepared anyway despite a lack of watching. I've only been setting Camp Lazlo via DVR while I can watch LT/T&J in better/proper formats on MeTV so it's not quite a total loss, but it's still a shame the direction its gone. I liked when it got the new branding 6 years ago, and was looking forward to some fun things - and there were for sure - but it's basically reverting in a sense. Can only do what anyone has been and still may be doing, and that's enjoy it until it's not there.

Is Boomerang going to have a marathon of classic Hanna-Barbera cartoons in honor of a new show called Jellystone?
