Tooncast is a Latin American cable television channel owned by Turner Broadcasting System Latin America/Time Warner. Launched on December 1, 2008[1] in some countries of the region, it airs 24-hours of classic animation, both from Hanna-Barbera and Cartoon Network, and with no interruptions. When one show ends, the next one starts immediately.

The channels follows the line of the international versions of the channel Boomerang which all air, with the exception of the Latin American channel, classic series and shows. Old Cartoon Network promos also air on the channel, such as "Cartoons That Never Made It" and Cartoon Network Groovies and the Boomerang Shorties. Unlike other channels of Turner Broadcasting System Latin America, like Cartoon Network, just a few cable television companies broadcast the channel in the region. The exception is Brazil, where the channel is available in most of the cable television companies.[2] Tthe channel is also available on some satellite television companies, such as Oi TV, Via Embratel, Viamax, and Nossa TV.
