Last August MeTV filed a trademark for a new Toons TV network now they have announced that on June 25 they will launch a 24/7 network dedicated to classic cartoons called MeTV Toons. Now Frndly TV has confirmed on its Facebook page that the new network will be added to the service. In response to a question about whether MeTV Toons would be added, Frndly TV said, “We will be carrying this in our lineup!! Stayed tuned!”
Update: Frndly TV, since our posting, has deleted its statement on Facebook. We have reached out to Frndly and will post an update update if we hear back.
The new network will include many popular classic shows like Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Scooby Doo, Tom & Jerry, George Jetson, Top Cat, Yogi Bear, Popeye, Johnny Quest and Fred Flintstone. Many of these shows had been on Boomerang but have recently left that network. You will also find some cartoons that aired after 2000 show on MeTV Toons.
MeTV Toon TV is coming to free over-the-air broadcast stations currently only confirmed in a few markets but is reportedly in talks to come to multiple areas at launch.
As ATSC 3.0 Nextgen TV grows, the ability to offer more subchannels like this new MeTV Toons will be able to roll out to more markets, reaching a larger audience. Look for new sub-channels to launch in the months to come to fill this need for new content free with an antenna on ATSC 1.0 and 3.0.
