History

Cartoon Network Russia and Southeastern Europe launched on 1 October 2009. Its branding featured arrows with random things popping out from the logo and arrows with random stuff creating the logo. When the version launched, it had the same shows as the Pan-European version, except for archival or classic programs such as Top Cat. In November 2009, Best Ed premiered, which was aired on the Pan-European version; in December 2009 Star Wars: The Clone Wars premiered, which also aired on the past version. In January 2010, Batman: The Brave and the Bold premiered, which was the first new show on the version that hasn't aired on the Pan-European version before. Other new shows premiered during these months, such as Bakugan Battle Brawlers: New Vestroia, Total Drama Island and Hero: 108.

On 26 November 2010, Cartoon Network revamped its look and got a new logo. The first show to air after the revamp was My Gym Partner's a Monkey. The first new show to premiere on the channel after/during the revamp is Angelo Rules.

On 23 December 2015, Turner sold its Russian assets to Media Alliance, a company jointly owned by National Media Group and Discovery Communications.[2]

On 6 December 2016, Cartoon Network Russia and Southeast Europe switched to the 16:9 picture format. The switch happened during a Total Drama Island episode.[3] Days later, Cartoon Network Russia and Southeast Europe HD launched but only for Rostelecom customers in Russia.[4] As of 2019, Media Alliance continues to run the Russian version under license from Warner Bros.

gollark: Anyway, if you think about it, then since my search index is something like 4GB, and the internet is several... exabytes, probably..., and search engines can search that in half a second, then recoll *should* be able to work in an attosecond or so.
gollark: Matrix is apiously complicated, denied.
gollark: I suspect that part of it might be that my disk is a slow outdated 7200RPM hard disk, since it's *quite* fast after I refresh, but still.
gollark: osmarkscalculator™, we've been through this.
