After adding Turner’s CNN International to its bouquet at the end of 2016, Australia’s Fetch TV IPTV service has kicked off 2017 by offering Cartoon Network and Boomerang.

Entertaining Aussie families for more than two decades, Cartoon Network is claimed to be Asia Pacific’s leading kids’ channel and is best known for programmes such as Ben 10, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup. For its part, Boomerang is said to be the place for families who want to see new episodes of iconic cartoons such as Tom and Jerry, Mr. Bean, Scooby-Doo, The Garfield Show, My Little Pony and The Looney Tunes Show.

Fetch TV is available via Australian ISPs including Optus, iiNet, Dodo, Internode, and iPrimus, and via retailers Harvey Norman and JB-HiFi.

Commenting on the addition, Robi Stanton, general manager of Turner Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Territories, said that its customers would ‘love’ the new content. “With Boomerang and Cartoon Network added to the line-up, subscribers now have access to the best animation from around the world. Both channels feature characters designed with one purpose in mind – to make everyone laugh,” she remarked.

Added Fetch TV CEO Scott Lorson: “Fetch is thrilled to reach a partnership agreement with Turner, and with the three fantastic additions to our channel offering – CNN, Cartoon Network and Boomerang. We will continue to partner with world-class content channel partners like Turner to bring Fetch TV subscribers the very best in entertainment. Plenty more to come”.
