Spacetoon (سبيستون or سبيس تون) is an Arabic television channel that specializes in animation and children programs. It began broadcasting in March 2000 and has two primary headquarters, one that opened in 2001 in Damascus, and another that opened in 2004 in Dubai.

Spacetoon Group has three channels in the Middle East: Spacetoon, Space Power TV, and the now-defunct Spacetoon English, which stopped broadcasting on January 1, 2011. Spacetoon also has international channels in Australia, Brazil, China, Central and Eastern Europe, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, South Korea, Taiwan, Philippines, Spain, Portugal, and Persian-speaking regions such as Iran.[citation needed]

Spacetoon magazines[edit]

Spacetoon published magazines, including Space Toon, Journal of Girls, Hamtaro, Fulla, Fifi, Dragon Booster and Spider-Man. Magazine production ceased in 2007 due to low advertising sales and lack of interest.[citation needed]
