I look forward to rewatching some of my favorite classic cartoons on MeTV Toons. I’ve already signed up for Frndly TV ahead of MeTV Toons’ impending June 25 launch.

As a lifelong hardcore Looney Toons fan i am so happy to hear this.

Same.

Our family will love watching this channel. They already are watching old school Scooby and Tom and Jerry on Tubi, so we can't wait to check out MeTV Toons. Launching during summer break is a killer move too.

It may be geared towards the adult generation but i think a whole new generation could fall in love with all of the great shows that metv toons will air.

Early CN, Boomerang, and TCM were my favorite stations. This sounds like a perfect fusion of all three. Having Jerry on is a great bonus that gives me faith that everything will be done faithfully.

Once this channel launches, I'm NEVER leaving it... Unless Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur comes on Disney Channel! I'll watch that, then come back to MeTvToons!

they should do holiday themed metv toons for the 4th of july, halloween, thanksgiving, christmas, valentine's day, st. patrick's day, veteran's day, memorial day, mlk day and to honor the olympics they should add the laff a lympics

I was thinking about a channel similar to this a few years ago, because when I see the animation geared towards kids, it's unwatchable to me, maybe because the Looney tunes was meant for movie theaters back in the 30s 40s and 50s, before the main feature, they were brilliant and for everyone !

Thank you for everything, Jerry!

I hope to see Huckleberry Hound too.

I do hope that what was presented in the interview actually comes true. MeTV rarely makes program changes. So I'll be keeping an eye on what type of rotation of cartoons actually happen. I'd like to see MeTV run a weekend preview of MeTV Toons by combining cartoon that have a connection to a TV show. MeTV did this in the past with The Flintstones and The Honeymooners. They can also have Wait Till Your Father Gets Home and All in the Family, Help!, it's the Hairbear Bunch and Hogan's Heroes, and so on. Most of all I hope this doesn't morph into what Cartoon Network and Boomerang ended up being. Plus no edited content for the sake of advertising.

It would be nice if the old Toonheads series could be shown on the channel. I'm guessing it won't happen since Cartoon Network owns those episodes but a person can dream!

What streaming services do you have now though? Because both FrndlyTV and Philo will be carrying MeTV Toons. And they both have a few streaming services that you can bundle together. That way, you only have to use one app. For instance, Frndly can be bundled with both Lifetime and Hallmark Movies, and Philo can be bundled with Starz, MGM+ and already comes with AMC+.

Hi Richard, this channel is a collaboration between two corporations, Weigel Broadcasting and Warner Bros Discovery, so it can always change based on ownership and shifting priorities at each company. But a strong launch will send the right message that there are fans who want this content. As to Frndly channel listings, check out the MeTV Toons website for more info MeTVTOONS.com And they are purposefully not sharing all of their plans for the future, so keep checking in with the website for updated info.

You know I'll be much more cooler than this if they would be able to allowed in the animators to create their own cartoons and shows and put it here that will be amazing! Instead of just having old cartoons which is great and all but we can have the best of both worlds there's so many indie great cartoons out there like I'm Smiley friends That are created by a small team or sometimes by themselves and it'll be kind of like a KZread thing but solely dedicated for animators and artists from all over the world it'll be a platform in which they can also earn something through ads or something that can put you know! That's what we really need a platform for artists to earn their keeps and to produce the content there rather than here on KZread we're just not a dedicated platform for it and they're not going to get anywhere with it! KZread is more like a general type of platform where everything is except for the important stuff that they keep hiding or censoring!
