Turner’s Cartoon Network and Boomerang are being offered by beIN Media in HD with dual language English and Arabic feeds from July, across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).
Turner logoThe children’s channels are being carried direct-to-home (DTH) by satellite or on IPTV platforms as part of beIN Media’s regional pay-TV bouquet.
The decision to offer dual feed follows the successful launch earlier this year of Cartoon Network Hindi, the first international cartoon channel broadcasting in Hindi.
Cartoon Network and Boomerang will continue to show Warner Bros favourites such as Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, and Scooby-Doo, as well as Cartoon Network Original series including The Powerpuff Girls, The Amazing World of Gumball, We Bear Bears and Adventure Time.
“We are thrilled to provide exceptional cartoon viewing options and quality entertainment to our viewers. The standards in entertainment requirements are ever-increasing and we are making sure to stay ahead of the curve whilst also offering viewers the choice to watch their favourite channels in their preferred language,” said Tarek Mounir, vice president & general manager MENA, Turkey, Greece and Cyprus at Turner.
Turner is launching a new website and Facebook page to complement the content on Cartoon Network in MENA. A special site dedicated to Boomerang is also set to launch later in 2016.
