History

1990s

In January 1994, it was announced that TNT and Cartoon Network will launch by the end of the year. It was supposedly launch as 24-hour services on the Apstar 2 satellite service.

On 6 October 1994, Turner Broadcasting System Asia Pacific launched Cartoon Network Asia on both Apstar 1 and Palapa-B2P. The channel was launched at 12:00 pm (SG/HK time). It was broadcast for 14 hours between 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., while Turner Classic Movies (formerly TNT) taking the remainder of the daily schedule and broadcast 10 hours of movie programming from Turner's libraries. During that time, Cartoon Network Asia was originally a 24-hour cable and satellite TV channel devoted to animated cartoons and classic films called TNT & Cartoon Network Asia and the service only had 4 different audio tracks including English, Mandarin, Thai and Japanese. Originally devoted to classic animated cartoons from studios such as Warner Bros., MGM and Hanna-Barbera, Cartoon Network Asia has since expanded to include more contemporary programming as well as its original productions, starting with its first original series to air in Asia in 1997 called Dexter’s Laboratory. By 31 December 1995, TNT & Cartoon Network Asia was broadcast around 20 countries and territories across pan-Asia via satellite.Шаблон:Citation needed

Sometime during the 1990s, Cartoon Network Asia launched a separate 24-hour feed of its service on the PAS-2 satellite along with TNT Asia.

On 4 January 1999, Cartoon Network Asia began to offer Hindi-dubbed versions of its shows in addition to English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Filipino and Malay in shows such as Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron, The Mask: The Animated Series, The Addams Family, The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, Captain Planet and other select programs.

On 22 August 1999, Cartoon Network Asia was rebranded, introducing new bumpers, new original productions and a new graphical package.

2000s

In 2000, other non-original shows were introduced. Also, throughout the early 2000s, Cartoon Network Asia began airing several more original productions.

In 2001, a programming block called Cartoon Cartoons was introduced. Cartoon Network Asia also introduced other programming blocks including Toonami, Acme Hour, Prime Time, the Boomerang block (now a TV channel), and Cartoon Network Night Shift.

In 2003 and 2004, more programming blocks were added. In early-2004, Boomerang was added to Foxtel with many of the older cartoons moved to the new channel. In addition, Cartoon Network shown segments of kids getting prizes during the holidays for a brief period, but were cancelled due to low audience. Up until mid-2004, Cartoon Network Asia had been tied with Disney Channel as the most popular family channel in Asian continent. The removal of the older 1950's-1980's Hanna-Barbera programming from the network during the period led to a fall in average audience share during 2004 as the fans of older cartoons moved to its new sister channel entitled Boomerang Asia.

On 1 October 2005, the channel's 'bumpers' were replaced with 3-D animation promotions that were set in a fictional location called "CN City". A well-known scene from a show was sometimes the theme. The "Cartoon Cartoons" moniker was dropped in 2006. On 31 August 2008, the bumpers and ads were updated and "Cartoon Network Theatre" was renamed into "Cartoon Network Popcorn".

2010s

On 1 October 2011, during the premiere of The Amazing World of Gumball in Asia, the channel introduced a new branding and logo originally designed by Brand New School, with a slogan "It's A Fun Thing" as well as new shows (ex. Oggy and the Cockroaches). In 2012, Cartoon Network started airing almost all shows (except for Courage the Cowardly Dog and several past shows) in HDTV 1080i format. In 2013, the American CN bumpers and the Asian bumpers were refreshed.

The channel was rebranded to Dimensional on 18 October 2017, along with Cinemax Asia.
