For some ten-day-old news, the cartoon world is rockin' because, per Cartoon Research, a new channel, MeTV Toons, can be accessed via remote June 25th. Essentially "1992 Cartoon Network – TIMES 100. On steroids. Available for free. Everywhere."
It appears to be a replacement for Boomerang, which continues to die an agonizingly slow death by poisoning. It will be mainly made up of Looney Tunes, MGM, Fleischer, Columbia/UPA, Lantz, Hanna-Barbera, Jay Ward, and a bunch of other stuff, with "surprises".
I do not have cable, so not much for me to be excited about. But this will be good to expose cartoons to a wider audience, mainly Gen Alpha. In other words, I am very happy!
On the site it shows that they are going to be playing more recent shows--now classics for being thirty years old--such as Two Stupid Dogs and Baby Looney Tunes. I hope, then, they'll play some Pat Ventura, television's best animation director.
