This was what we viewed up till the launch of Boomerang on April 1st, 2OOO! It ran in a loop, over & over. As you can see, some of the bumpers (where the commercial would be) you see nowadays are in this clip.
It was exclusively on Dish Network channel 175 when they increased their package to the America's Top 150. You needed a Dish 500 for this channel & the rest of the new 150 package channels.
Later in 2000, DirecTv also added the popular Channel on channel 297. It was on a Family add-on package for about $5. per month.
Most cable companies still do not offer Boomerang (often referred to as Cartoon Network 2).
Shame about this channel now is... they dont show half of the original content anymore. They've added way too many recent & 1990's cartoons nowadays. Not the classic 60's, 70s' & 80's like they did when they launched this channel.
If you had a Dish Network DishPlayer 7200 (the 1st generation DVR) at this time, & if you disconnected the Satellite input on it, it would show you the new channels before they were even launched. It displayed the channel number & the channel name. Always knew where all the new channels were planned by Dish Network by doing that trick.
Boomerang & Cartoon Network belong to Turner Entertainment (H-B) & AOL/Time Warner. (Warner Bros.)
