Cartoon Network is a television network owned by Warner Bros. Discovery and the now-defunct Turner Broadcasting System, which originally launched in the U.S. in 1992, and then launched to other parts of the world during the years. The American television channel originally airs classic animated programming from the Warner Bros., Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and Hanna-Barbera libraries, as well as Cartoon Network's original animated programming; in fact, just until most of the classic animated programming were completely removed from Cartoon Network's line-up due to the launch of their spin-off digital cable and satellite television channel in April 2000, Boomerang, and then the rest of the classic animated programming were completely removed from Cartoon Network's line-up to make room for more of Cartoon Network's original animated programming in October 2004. The only classic animated programming that still airs on Cartoon Network in the United States are The Tom & Jerry Show, and as of 2009/2010, Looney Tunes, having been longtime staples of the Turner Broadcasting networks.
They have a contract with Atomic Cartoons and Canada's Teletoon channel to show Atomic Betty, which currently still exists on the TV channel itself in a few countries, since the show no longer exists on either the U.S. or U.K. versions of Cartoon Network; however, the show began airing on both CITV in the United Kingdom and The Hub (now Hub Network, rebranded as Discovery Family in 2014) in the United States around 2007 and 2010 respectively. The network also aired the show in Europe (except for Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Portugal and Spain), Latin America and Japan. In Brazil, Boomerang airs Atomic Betty.
