Cartoon Network TOO is a new spin off television channel aimed at 4-9 year olds, that airs a mixture of original and modern classic cartoons from the Cartoon Cartoons umbrella of programming, everyday at 11pm on Cartoon Network. It launched in the UK and Ireland on April 24 2006, on Sky Digital channel 622. The service will also air on Telewest, reportedly on channel 706. The channel broadcasts between 3am-7pm daily. Cartoon Network TOO's format is similar to POP, which also shows archived children's television programming. The channel timeshares with TCM 2, another UK-only spin-off channel.
On July 27th 2006, CN Too, along with Cartoon Network, Boomerang, Toonami, Boomerang +1 and TCM, suffered a technical fault due to a power cut in Soho, London. This was due to the energy supplier EDF cutting power from different parts of Soho one at a time for four hours, purposely, due to the inability to meet energy demands in the wake of a heat wave. The power cut caused a mix up of channels (i.e. Cartoon Network being broadcast on Boomerang and Boomerang being broadcast on CN Too) and also channels without a signal. Those who could still receive the channels had a backup transmission played out, making people curious into why the incorrect programmes were played out when compared to the EPG. These backups where played out with a scrolling message which said something similar to "We apologise for this fault. This is due to technical difficulties. We will resume to normal service as soon as possible" in multiple languages. Whilst most channels returned to the air relatively quickly, it took loner for CN Too to resume programming.
