Cartoon Network Arabic (Arabic: Cartoon Network بالعربية) is a free-to-air children's channel that is broadcast for a pan-Arabian audience in the MENA region, and it is the official Arabic edition of Cartoon Network. The channel was launched on October 10, 2010 at 10:10 am U.A.E. time.[1][2] The channel's launch coincides with the opening of Turner Broadcasting System's new offices in Dubai Media City, U.A.E., the channel's local owner.[3] A Middle Eastern branch of Time Warner.
The channel broadcasts via Arabsat Badr 6 and Nilesat. Cartoon Network Arabic is considered a free alternative to the subscription-based Cartoon Network channel offered in the Middle East via Orbit Showtime Network, despite the varying differences in programming and available languages.
As of March 2012, the channel is now available in true high-definition, only via the YahLive service for the time being.[4]
