Boomerang is a cable network owned by {{wp|Time Warner}}, operating as a sister station to Cartoon Network. Boomerang is well-known for airing many cartoons that came from the 20th century such as {{wp|The Flintstones}}, {{wp|The Jetsons}}, Popeye the Sailor Man, and The Yogi Bear Show, as well as older episodes of currently-running series, Pokémon among them. A full list is on {{wp|List of programs broadcast by Boomerang|Wikipedia}}. Boomerang was made shortly after the introduction of Cartoon Network in 1992. However, it was only a block on the network, and was not spun off into a channel until 2000. During its time as a block, it lasted for only a couple of hours at a time. | Boomerang is a cable network owned by {{wp|Time Warner}}, operating as a sister station to Cartoon Network.

In January | In January 19, 2015, the U.S. version of Boomerang was be relaunched as part of a global rebranding effort in an effort to original programming for the first time; it is unknown if Boomerang will order the series once Cartoon Network's airing of new episodes of the anime will conclude, however. The relaunched channel continues to emphasize its archival programming but with a greatly increased emphasis on the archive's most popular brands and an explicitly {{wp|family-friendly}} approach, in the hopes that Boomerang could become a “second {{wp|flagship (broadcasting)|flagship}}” on par with the main Cartoon Network channel. | ||
