Cartoon Network Russia and Southeastern Europe is a cable and satellite kids channel that was launched on October 1, 2009, replacing the Pan-European feed of Cartoon Network. It is available in Russian, Bulgarian and English. Both feeds are the same, except for local advertisements. The Russian website launched in October 2010. Cartoon Network doesn't have its own English site, but uses the Pan-European Cartoon Network's site. On November 26, 2010 the channel changed its look and logo. In March 2011 the CIS feed was 24 hours. On January 1, 2014 all feeds of the channels became 24 hours. It also serves Ex-Yu countries.
Cartoon Network Russia and Southeastern Europe launched on 1 October 2009. Its branding featured arrows with random things popping out from the logo and arrows with random stuff creating the logo. When the version launched, it had the same shows as the Pan-European version, except for archival or classic programs such as Top Cat. In November 2009, Best Ed premiered, which was aired on the Pan-European version; in December 2009 Star Wars: The Clone Wars premiered, which also aired on the past version. In January 2010, Batman: The Brave and the Bold premiered, which was the first new show on the version that hasn't aired on the Pan-European version before. Other new shows premiered during these months, such as Bakugan Battle Brawlers: New Vestroia, Total Drama Island and Hero: 108.
On 26 November 2010, Cartoon Network revamped its look and got a new logo. The first show to air after the revamp was My Gym Partner's a Monkey. The first new show to premiere on the channel after/during the revamp is Angelo Rules.
On December 6, 2016, Cartoon Network Russia and Southeast Europe switched to the 16:9 picture format. Days later, Cartoon Network Russia and Southeast Europe HD launched. The switch happened during a Total Drama episode and happened during the scene where the Chef drops his weapon and a standoff occurs. The picture then goes to 16:9.
