Boomerang is a 24-hour cable television channel owned by Turner Broadcasting System, a unit of Time Warner broadcasting in all Latin America. Initially it was focused on classical series and shows, as the Latin American version of Boomerang from the United States. In 2006, it relaunched as the Latin American and Brazilian version of POGO from India, marketed mainly on children. In 2008 it relaunched again with its own original identity and programming, focused on teen-oriented programming with original and syndicated series and movies. It also aired music videos and concert specials, under the brand "Boombox". The channel currently focuses on family programming, and rebranded on September 28, 2014 with a new logo and programming. ==History== The channel was launched on July 2, 2001 with the same logo and programming from the United States version. It aired classic programming and different shows and series that had been dropped from Cartoon Network. On April 3, 2006, the channel relaunched as a general children's network, becoming a version of Cartoon Network's sister network in India, POGO. Boomerang, with a new logo, started to air new series and shows, divided into different programming blocks which were similar to the ones airing on India's Pogo. The new lineup included the preschool programming block "MiniTV" ("TinyTV" on POGO), teen programming, and classic programming. Each block featured a different color for easy identification. On October 2008 the channel was relaunched again, but retained its logo. The channel was reformatted as a 24-hour teen-focused channel, airing original and non-original productions solely focused on teenagers. Boomerang aired successful original shows, such as "Boombox", which included interviews and live concerts with different musicians throughout Latin America, United States and more recently, the United Kingdom. On April 1, 2009 the channel launched a mobile service.〔http://www.realtvnews.com.ar/new/noticias.php?id=4400〕 Outside of Latin America, the Latin American feed is an associate member of the Caribbean Cable Cooperative.〔(Member channels of the Caribbean Cable Cooperative )〕 By mid-2010, the channel's logo was slightly modified, with the squares around the word "Boom" transformed into circles.〔http://boomerangla.com〕 By the summer of 2011, it was the only Boomerang channel in the world to feature no cartoon programming whatsoever. However, ''The Powerpuff Girls'' was added by February 2014, making it once again inclusive to animated programming. In April, its cartoon programming was moved to daytime slots on the schedule. It was later confirmed that the channel would be part of the worldwide Boomerang rebrand, influenced by programming of international Boomerang networks.〔http://news.turner.com/article_display.cfm?article_id=6623〕 Boomerang Latin America officially rebranded on September 28, 2014, with new and exclusive cartoons such as ''Oddbods'', ''Masha and the Bear'' and ''The Jungle Bunch: To the Rescue'' making their debuts that day, along with some contemporary programming imported from Cartoon Network, such as ''The Garfield Show'', ''Pink Panther and Pals'' and ''What's New, Scooby-Doo?''. A new programming block consisting of straight-to-DVD and theatrical films was introduced, titled "Boomerang Movie". Boomerang re-shifted its focus to kids and families for the first time since 2006, resulting in all live-action "teencoms" (sans ''H2O: Just Add Water'') being removed from the schedule permanently. Boomerang Latin America was also the first Boomerang network in the world to adopt the new look. In October 18, 2014, a Boomerang block was added to Cartoon Network Latin America. It is named "Boomerang Club" and shows ''Masha and the Bear'', Imaginext Adventures, and LazyTown. On November 3, 2014, "Boomerang Club" was expanded to Monday to Friday showings of ''Tom and Jerry'', ''What's New, Scooby-Doo?'', ''Wabbit'', ''The Garfield Show'', ''Inspector Gadget'', ''Masha and the Bear'', ''Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!'' and ''Casper's Scare School''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boomerang (Latin America)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
