Is Toonami Africa Closing Soon???

Toonami is an action based animation channel home to content based from DC Comic characters such as Batman, Superman, Teen Titans and The Justice League. It had also distributed anime in one point with known figures such as Inazuma Eleven and Dragonball.

Since it's revival on StarTimes, Toonami had been repetitive state with very little new content outside of its DC films with its only notable show being Fire Force. Other than that, Toonami has been going the same route as other channels formerly in Africa such as EVA and Sony Channel.

In case anyone had been keeping tabs, Warner and Discovery are splitting up to some degree with this restructure set to be finalised by mid 2026. As we've seen with NBCUniversal's spinoff Versant, Warner Bros. Discovery is likely to close a few channels ahead of this transaction.

Cartoon Network and Cartoonito are set to fold under the Discovery umbrella and if I had to guess they'd likely want to streamline their efforts as they won't have much content from Warner Bros. to sustain them. This would put a brand like Toonami under scrutiny as a majority of its content comes from the mentioned brands.

The news of Toonami Africa demise wouldn't really come as a shocker as TNT had been distributing a batch of its films in recent years. Even Cartoon Network had begun to show interest in DC with Batman: The Brave And Bold and Teen Titans: Trouble In Tokyo.

Warner Bros. Discovery hasn't done much marketing for the network and as it stands Toonami has been mummified. At the moment, they only offer 5 shows 3 of which are centered on Batman with all the movies that were meant to build its primetime offering on TNT.

Africa is currently the last market to offer a dedicated channel for Toonami as France folded that under the Warner trademark. With its demise, this means that Toonami would be reduced to just a programming block in the US.
