Boomerang is a cable and satellite television channel owned by Turner Broadcasting System, a unit of Time Warner and its main flagship channel of Cartoon Network. The Southeast Asian version of Boomerang was launched in September 2005 with a lineup very similar to that of the US version. It started previously as a programming block on Cartoon Network from 2001 to 2005 during weeknights. It uses the same voice overs from the Australian feed.
In December 2012, the channel was replaced by Toonami and Cartoonito. However, it was relaunched in Asia on January 1, 2015, with a new look and as part of the Boomerang's global rebranding effort for 2015. The channel replaced the Asian feed of Cartoonito.

Around late 2015, Boomerang on TV5 Kids was launched, replacing TV5 AniMEGA. It airs a few programs straight from Boomerang Southeast Asia and Boomerang Australia and New Zealand.
All of the shows on the Boomerang block are dubbed in Filipino. It currently airs The Looney Toons Show, Rat-A-Tat, Inspector Gadget, and Mr. Bean: The Animated Series which airs every weekday afternoons.
Boomeraction was a block which, as its name suggests, consisted of classic action-oriented shows such as Jonny Quest, Birdman and the Galaxy Trio, Sealab 2020 and among others. The block aired Weekdays at 5:00 PM.
