Turner Broadcasting
has rolled out its kids’ animation channel Toonami in France.

Toonami launched in the territory for the first time last night, offering series and films for children aged between eight and 12.

The channel will bring animated versions of DC Comics characters to French viewers, including Batman, Superman, the Justice League and the Green Lantern. Other animated superheroes such as Ben10 and Thundercats will also fill the schedule.

The network will carry a Toonami Movies block for animated feature films.

The channel will also have a catch-up service called Toonami Max, which will be available on cable TV, tablet, mobile and PC.


Pierre Branco, VP and general manager of Turner France, Portugal and Africa, said: “The launch of Toonami reflects the value of pay TV and its evolution.

“With a clear positioning and strong franchises, our job is to select the best shows, to editorialise them and to share them with the widest audience. Through Toonami Max, our new upgraded reply service, we are also adapting to the evolutions of video consumption.”
