Cartoon Network is a European pay television channel broadcast in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Moldova, Romania and Slovakia. It launched on 1 October 2008 as a separate feed from the Polish feed, and is owned by AT&T's WarnerMedia under its International division.
The Hungarian channel's announcers from 2008 to 2010 were László Heckenast and Anita Tóth (together with Boomerang). Cartoon Network's current announcer (since 2010) is Krisztián Dányi. However, some promotions are made with the voice of AMC, Olivér Balázs.
History[]
Before the launch of the channel, Hungary, Romania and Moldova received the Polish feed of Cartoon Network on 30 September 2002, broadcasting in Polish, Hungarian, Romanian and English.
A CEE feed specifically for Romania, Moldova and Hungary was launched, replacing Cartoon Network Poland in 1 October 2008.
Czech Republic and Slovakia used to receive this feed in English. However, on 20 September 2017, a Czech audio track was added to the channel in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.[5] That same year, on 20 October, Cartoon Network started broadcasting 24 hours a day.
On 26 February 2018, the channel launched a high-definition feed. Later, on 15 October, Cartoon Network changed its aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9.[citation needed]
