Cartoon Network is a Pakistani cable and satellite television channel operated by Warner Bros. Discovery. It was launched on 2 April 2004, dedicating itself to Pakistani viewers.[1]
On 1 October 2011, Cartoon Network Pakistan changed its logo along with the other Asian feeds, joining the ‘CN’ squares into a perfect rectangle. The channel also premiered The Amazing World of Gumball on the same day.[2] Cartoon Network, along with all other foreign television channels, were suspended in Bangladesh on 2 October 2021, for not broadcasting clean feed.[3]
In 2005, PEMRA issued an order regarding the ban of several channels because they were airing programmes in Hindi as they were dubbed in India. Later, Cartoon Network switched to English versions.[4] In 2010, PEMRA again issued a notice against the channels, the issue was the Hindi dubbed shows on schedule. The ban was not lifted till the end of July 2011.[5]
