Could Boomerang Also Be Shutting Down Soon In The UK?

Last year, Warner Bros. Discovery launched Cartoonito as a 24 hour service across Europe, Asia and Africa after launching as a programming block years prior. It was met with positive reception from consumers for the likes of Lucas The Spider and Thomas And Friends.

As some readers are aware, Boomerang still resides in the UK and Italy as a 24 hour channel outside of Cartoonito which is a channel of its own. One of which, the UK come with a separate offering as Boomerang revolves most of its content on Looney Tunes, Tom And Jerry and Scooby-Doo. 

During the month, it was reported that Bugs Bunny Builders and various other preschool content had been removed from Cartoonito in the Nordic market. Now there's word that Mr. Bean: The Animated Series and Grizzy And The Lemmings had been added to the channel's line-up in the UK.

Although this isn't a clear indicator of possible terminaton, Warner Bros. Discovery had been going through various restructuring in recent months. Discovery Science and Discovery Turbo Xtra exited various parts of Europe with Cartoonito leaving parts of Asia.

With the likes of streaming these days, it makes Boomerang feels obsolete I mean the channel lost purpose in other countries when Warner Bros. Discovery put more emphasis on Cartoonito. But the biggest downfall for the UK and remaining feeds was the failure to add new content.

After the UK feed of Cartoonito rebranded, Warner Bros. Discovery had attempted to sort of bolster Boomerang's line-up with Ninjago. Unlike most parts of Europe and Africa, linear consumption has experienced the most falls in the UK so the idea of closure wouldn't be surprising.

Prior to this, TCM resided in the market weirdly as TCM Movies and as seen in other parts of the world got the boot and Boomerang has been hovering around this circle for sometime now.
