Iconic animated shows like Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes Cartoons and Mr. Bean have found a new home in Africa with the launch of Boomerang on GOtv. Home to your favourite cartoon characters, Boomerang Africa, is now accessible on the pre-existing GOtv MAX package in Kenya and Uganda and the brand-new GOtv SUPA premium offering, available in Kenya, Uganda, Ghana, Zambia, Namibia, Mozambique, and Malawi.
“We’re excited to be increasing Boomerang’s African footprint not only on GOtv MAX but also on the new offering, GOtv SUPA, seeing it in more homes than ever before,” says Bertrand Schontz, WarnerMedia’s Senior Distribution Director: France, Africa and Israel.
Boomerang is the perfect place for kids and parents to laugh together at the shows and characters they both know and love. Mr. Bean, Tom and Jerry, and Masha and the Bear once again made it to the list of Coolest Cartoon Shows in the 2021 Sunday Times GenNext Awards, so it isn’t surprising that the channel pulls viewership figures of more than 12,2 million every month in South Africa alone. Besides bringing a modern twist to iconic cartoons, Boomerang Africa also has a rich offering of multi-layered adventure shows and original productions and acquisitions such as Grizzy and the Lemmings, Ninja Express, Zig and Sharko … and many more!
“We are very proud to have Boomerang rank as South Africa’s #2 most popular kids’ channel in 2021, and we’re intent on spreading the laughter and adventure far and wide. It is an iconic brand with content that continues to cement itself in the hearts of our young viewers,” says Ariane Suveg, WarnerMedia’s Head of Kids Channels: France, Africa and Israel.
Notes:
Boomerang is available on GOtv on channel 68 (and channel 155 in Ghana and channel 357 in Uganda) on the following packages:
· MAX (pre-existing package) in Kenya & Uganda
· SUPA (new premium package) in Kenya / Uganda / Ghana / Zambia / Namibia / Mozambique / Malawi
