Cartoon Network Arabic
Cartoon Network Arabic (Arabic: كرتون نتورك بالعربية) is a pan-Arab free-to-air children's television channel that is broadcast in the Middle East and North-East Africa (excluding Iran, Turkey and Cyprus). It is one of two Arabic-language versions of the original Cartoon Network, the other being an pay television channel on beIN and additional providers known as Cartoon Network MENA, which is available in both English and Arabic.
The channel launched on 10 October 2010, coinciding with the opening of Turner Broadcasting System Europe's offices in Dubai Media City. As of 2020, it is managed by AT&T's WarnerMedia under its International division.
The standard channel broadcasts via Arabsat Badr 6 and Nilesat. Cartoon Network Arabic is considered a free-to-air alternative to Cartoon Network MENA and Boomerang MENA, two pay TV channels offered in the Arab world in HD and in both English and Arabic on beIN Network and additional providers since 1 July 2016, despite the varying differences in programming, schedules, and available languages.
