History

In late 2005, Turner Broadcasting System Europe reported that they had intended to launch Boomerang in the Nordic region. They had also applied to broadcast it in the Swedish digital terrestrial network in the fall of that year.[2] Boomerang was, however, not granted a license by the Swedish government at the time.

On 30 September 2010, it was launched as a channel on Viasat's satellite platform, with the block closing the day before.[3] The channel launched on 1 April 2011 from the Canal Digital platform.[4] Boomerang had previously been offered as a programming block on Cartoon Network. On 19 January 2015, Boomerang Nordic applied the 2014-15 rebrand.

Due to the change of the channel on 17 April 2023 (officially 1 May 2023), the Czech regulator gave the green light to show the channel in Latvia as well.[5]
