Could Cartoonito Channel Rollout In The United States Before 2025 Perhaps As A Replacement To Discovery Family?

In 2022, WarnerMedia and Discovery Inc. formalised their formation into Warner Bros. Discovery which led to a lot of outrage from consumers following the cutback of staff and content and 2023 is where they look to start a new chapter.

We have shows like Tiny Toons Looniversity and Gremlins: The Secret Of Mowgai on Cartoon Network with My Adventures With Superman and Unicorn Warriors Eternal on Adult Swim all of which will be available to the revamped Max streaming service.

With questions surrounding the future of Cartoonito USA after garnering popularity internationally and on HBO Max. It was reported that some of Warner Bros. content such as Baby Looney Tunes and Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries would be made available to Discovery Family.

Although, this doesn't mean much at this point there's a lot of speculation amongst consumers that Discovery Family would unfold on Cartoonito as Hasbro is looking to sell their stake on the channel with the latter expected to continue until March 2025.

Now the idea of Cartoonito replacing Discovery Family doesn't seem like a completely bad idea as seen with Boomerang in the affected region as the content kind of aligns itself to the current demographic being preschoolers or as seen in the EMEA region, family.

Following this merger, I presume Discovery would want to work on factual and lifestyle oriented programming which is what Discovery Family lacks in the United States leaving the door open for a potential takeover for Cartoonito as Warner handles the kids offering.
