Boomerang is a 24-hour cable television channel owned by Turner Broadcasting System, a unit of Time Warner broadcasting in all Latin America. Initially it was focused on classical series and shows, as the Latin American version of Boomerang from the United States. In 2006, it relaunched as the Latin American and Brazilian version of POGO from India, marketed mainly on children. In 2008 it relaunched again with its own original identity and programming, focused on teen-oriented programming with original and syndicated series and movies. It also aired music videos and concert specials, under the brand "Boombox". The channel currently focuses on family programming, and rebranded on September 28, 2014 with a new logo and new programming.

Third variant of new Boomerang logo from October 1, 2010 to September 28, 2014. This logo was used during the period in which Boomerang had changed to a teenager target audience.

The channel was launched on July 2, 2001 with the same logo and programming from the United States version. It aired classic programming and different shows and series that had been dropped from Cartoon Network.

On April 3, 2006, the channel relaunched as a general children's network, becoming a version of Cartoon Network's sister network in India, POGO. Boomerang, with a new logo, started to air new series and shows, divided into different programming blocks which were the same that are aired on India's POGO. Those blocks included pre-scholar programming "MiniTV" ("TinyTV" in POGO), teen programming and classical programming. Each block had different colors that represented them.

On October 2008 the channel was relaunched again, but this time kept the same logo. The channel becomes a 24-hour teen-focused channel, with original and non-original productions and only focused on teenagers.

Since then, Boomerang has been airing successful original shows, as "BoomBox", which includes interviews and live concerts with different musicians from all Latin America, United States and more recently, United Kingdom.

On April 1, 2009 the channel launched a mobile service.[1]

Outside of Latin America, the Latin American feed is an associate member of the Caribbean Cable Cooperative.[2]

In mid-2010, the channel modified a little bit of the logo, transforming the squares around the word "Boom" in circles.[3]

Since the summer of 2011, it was the only Boomerang channel in the world to feature no cartoon programming whatsoever. However, The Powerpuff Girls was added as of February 2014, making it again inclusive to animated programming. In April, it moved its cartoon programming to daytime slots on the schedule. Based on these recent changes, Boomerang in Latin America was part of the worldwide Boomerang rebrand, influenced by programming of international Boomerang networks.[4]

Boomerang Latin America officially rebranded on September 28, 2014, with new and exclusive cartoons such as Oddbods, Masha and the Bear and The Jungle Bunch: To the Rescue making their debuts during that day, along with some contemporary programming imported from Cartoon Network such as The Garfield Show, Pink Panther and Pals and What's New, Scooby-Doo?, and a new programming block consisting of straight-to-DVD and theatrical films. Boomerang will re-shift its focus to kids and their families, resulting in which all the live-action "teencoms" (sans H2O: Just Add Water) will be removed from the schedule permanently. Boomerang Latin America was the first Boomerang network in the world to adopt the new look.

In October 18, 2014, a Boomerang block was added to Cartoon Network Latin America. It is named Club Boomerang (Boomerang Club) and shows Masha and the Bear, Imaginext Adventures, and LazyTown. Also, in November 3, 2014, Club Boomerang was expanded to be included Monday to Friday showing Masha and the Bear, The Jungle Bunch: To the Rescue, Oddbods, and The Tom and Jerry Show.

Programming blocks

From 2006 until 2008 Boomerang aired different blocks on different schedules for different audiences. The programming blocks included segments for young audiences, teenagers, and classical programming at night. The blocks were "color-coded" as the logo of the channel changed its color depending which programming block was being aired.

After October 2008 the channel decides to focus its programming only on teenagers, dropping the preschool and classic programming of the channel. Since February 2009 all the programming in all the schedules carry the same blue-green colored logo.
