Boomerang is an American cable television network owned by Warner Bros. Discovery U.S. Networks, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery. A spin-off of Cartoon Network, the channel primarily broadcasts animated programming from the Warner Bros. Animation library, including Warner Bros. Cartoons and Hanna-Barbera productions among others, as well as contemporary reboots of classic franchises. From time to time, the channel has also broadcast reruns of Cartoon Network original series. Boomerang debuted in 1992 as a programming block on Cartoon Network, dedicated to classic animation from the WB library, and was eventually spun-off into its own separate network in 2000. In the late 2000s, Boomerang would begin to airing more modern and contemporary programming, including reruns of shows that had previously aired on Cartoon Network. A 2015 relaunch (which aimed to promote Boomerang as a "second flagship" brand alongside Cartoon Network) saw Boomerang begin to produce its own original programming, with a focus on reboots of franchises such as Looney Tunes and Scooby-Doo. In 2017, Boomerang launched a subscription video on-demand over-the-top streaming service. As of September 2018, Boomerang is available to approximately 38 million pay television households in the United States.
