Toonami Jetstream was a {{wp|Streaming media|streaming video}} service run by Cartoon Network and [[VIZ Media]] to provide anime and action cartoons 24 hours a day. The service launched on July 17, 2006. The service remained online even after its parent programming block, Toonami, ended on September 20, 2008. On January 20, 2009, Toonami Jetstream switched all available offerings with "top 10" lists from most of their at-the-time current shows. Toonami Jetstream shut down on January 30, 2009. Cartoon Network Video, Toonami Jetstream's former sister service, became Cartoon Network's lone streaming video service at the time Jetstream shut down. The Pokémon anime did not initially migrate over to Cartoon Network Video, but would do so a few months after Jetstream's shutdown. | Toonami Jetstream was a {{wp|Streaming media|streaming video}} service run by Cartoon Network and [[VIZ Media]] to provide anime and action cartoons 24 hours a day.
