Cartoon Network Pakistan is a cable and satellite television channel created by Turner International Pakistan, a unit of Time Warner which primarily shows animated programming. The channel is Pakistani feed of Cartoon Network, officially launched on 2 April 2004. The channel has two feeds for Pakistan and Bangladesh. It is also available in Tajikistan, and Afghanistan. Cartoon Network Pakistan timings are according to PST (+5 UTC). It also has another time shift version (+6 UTC), which is available in Bangladesh.
The channel launched on April 2, 2004 as a separate feed dedicated for Pakistani viewers. Programs broadcast on this feed are almost identical to the programs broadcast on Cartoon Network India, with the exception of a few shows. It has a translation in some areas.
In 2005 the bumpers were replaced with 3D animations of a 'city' that all the cartoon characters from the show lived in. Show-specific bumpers were replaced with 3D animations of a well-known scene from the particular show. The retro, checkerboard logo was replaced with the 'CN' city-style logo of today. In 2006, several new Cartoon Network originals premiered, including Robotboy, The Life and Times of Juniper Lee, and Camp Lazlo. The channel kept this brand until 2008.
On September 1, 2008, the format of the channel's bumpers and commercials changed, and Cartoon Network Theatre was renamed Cartoon Network Popcorn. The major visual theme was the recurring 'dynamic line' in all the channel's identifications and bumpers. Also, the way of a normal continuity during cartoons was recreated as from September 1 when it comes between the shows. This was totally different from the old version.
