Cartoon Network (Portuguese TV channel)

The feed (Pan-European) received in Portugal, Angola and Mozambique was transmitted for a long time (from September 17, 1993 to December 3, 2013) in countries that don't have their own version of the channel.

The Portuguese-language version of the channel was first launched on October 1, 2013 in Angola and Mozambique.[3]

On December 3, 2013, the channel was officially launched in Portugal on all cable operators, switching from the Pan-European version (in English).[2] On the same day it was launched, the channel started being broadcast in 16:9. It is believed that the channel switched feeds due to the low ratings the previous feed was suffering in the past few years. The Pan-European English feed was removed from the ZON (currently NOS) basic cable service, along with other foreign language international channels on February 1, 2010, and the Portuguese-language Panda Biggs was included in its place.[4]

When the Pan-European feed was still being broadcast, the daily broadcast was 15 hours (from 05:00 to 20:00) in Portugal. During that time, the channel shared time with TNT, focusing on classic movies and professional wrestling, and in its final years, with Turner Classic Movies. Some cable TV operators preferred dividing the two channels with their own dchannel (some with a description of their opening and closing times). Shortly after the release of Portugal's version of the channel, TCM and Boomerang stopped being aired in Portugal.

Around February 2014, the channel started airing advertisements, but in March 2014, they stopped airing them, returning in the middle of the month.

Cartoon Network Portugal was also the first European CN feed to adopt the CHECK it 3.0 branding.

From May 30, 2014 to March 30, 2017, Cartoon Network used white background graphics. On March 31, 2017, it changed its design to a version based on the US feed's Dimensional branding.

On April 26, 2018, Cartoon Network and Boomerang were launched on NOWO and Vodafone. It's also worth remembering that the channel had already been launched in Angola and Mozambique on April 21, 2015 and that the European channel (English channel) stopped being broadcast a few months when Cartoon Network was launched in Portuguese.
