4Teletoon was a Canadian animation network, debuting in 1997 alongside Creator/TheComedyNetwork and Creator/SpaceChannel, when cable channel options opened up in the country during the late [[TheNineties Nineties]]. Originally owned as a joint venture between Creator/FamilyChannel (then a joint venture between Astral Media and WIC), the two big Canadian animation studios Creator/{{Cinar}} and Creator/{{Nelvana}}, and Shaw, as of 2013, it is wholly owned by Creator/CorusEntertainment, who also own Creator/{{YTV}} and Creator/TreehouseTV among other kids networks.
5
6Teletoon was a bilingual service, with two separate networks serving the English- and French-speaking populations of Canada. A spin-off channel, Creator/TeletoonRetro[[note]]based on a now defunct [[UsefulNotes/BlockProgramming program block]] [[/note]], was launched in 2007 to provide nostalgic viewers with older cartoons. Though that channel closed in September 2015, Teletoon would continue to air classic cartoons in graveyard slots. Its late night block, Creator/TeletoonAtNight, featured adult animated series, including Canadian-produced shows such as ''WesternAnimation/{{Undergrads}}'' and ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh''. The majority of Canadian shows aired in the block were [[ShortRunner Short Runners]] and because of this, and Canadian content laws, they are often shown endlessly in repetition. While the English channel's block ended in April 2019, its French counterpart, Télétoon la nuit, continues to run on the French channel to this day.
7
8Part of Teletoon's license dictates they have to use a portion of their revenue to help create Canadian content. Teletoon has commissioned and funded many series from adaptations of ''Literature/{{Redwall}}'', ''Literature/{{Silverwing}}'' and ''ComicStrip/ForBetterOrForWorse'', to more general shows aimed at international audiences. While the English and French channels started out with exactly the same programming, their schedules started to differ overtime. The French network would go on to produce and receive dubs of shows otherwise shown on other networks like ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' (which did use to air on English Teletoon in the channel’s early years) and ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' (until 2018; [[Creator/MuchMusic Much]] now handles that show in Anglophone Canada).
9
10American viewers will recognize Teletoon as Canada's answer to Creator/CartoonNetwork, with Teletoon at Night formerly being the go-to network for Creator/AdultSwim shows. Just as Teletoon has aired almost every Cartoon Network show in existence, with [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls a]] [[WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory few]] [[WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack exceptions]], Cartoon Network has also aired a handful of Teletoon shows.
11
12Aside from this, the one thing anyone living in the United States will probably notice when looking at the list of Teletoon shows would be the almost complete absence of any {{anime}}. YTV was the primary source for anime series in its early years, while Teletoon would occasionally air anime movies and [[OriginalVideoAnimation OVAs]]. Both versions have shown ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries''[[note]]a Quebec French dub that [[DubNameChange was one of the few French Pokémon media]] [[AvertedTrope to use English Mon and character names!]][[/note]], ''[[Manga/CardcaptorSakura Cardcaptors]]'', ''Anime/{{Bakugan}}'', and ''Anime/SpiderRiders'' at some point, with the French network also having shown ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'', ''Anime/BakutenShootBeyblade'' and ''Manga/{{Naruto}}''.
13
14On July 4, 2012, Teletoon launched a Canadian version of Cartoon Network, complete with a localized Adult Swim block. In the years since the channel's launch, Teletoon had relied more on original programming and other acquired shows. By September of 2015, Cartoon Network and Adult Swim's original shows would air exclusively on the Canadian version. [[note]]Though Teletoon did bring back ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' and aired ''WesternAnimation/{{The Powerpuff Girls|2016}}'' reboot in Fall 2016.[[/note]] Teletoon would resume airing Cartoon Network's shows by January of 2017, while Adult Swim shows would return to Teletoon at Night by the Fall of 2017. Ultimately, Corus would announce the launch of a 24-hour Adult Swim channel (the first of its kind), subsequently discontinuing both the Canadian Adult Swim block and Teletoon at Night on March 4th and April 1st, 2019, respectively.
15
16On March 27, 2023, Teletoon was rebranded as a new incarnation of Cartoon Network, thus no longer being treated as a secondary channel and ending the Teletoon brand's presence on linear television in English-speaking Canada after over 25 years. As for the existing Canadian Cartoon Network channel, it became a Canadian version of CN's own sister brand Creator/{{Boomerang}}. The Teletoon brand name continues to be used for the French channel, as well as the Teletoon+ streaming service (which houses content from the Cartoon Network, Creator/WarnerBrosAnimation, and Nelvana libraries).
17
18Teletoon was somewhat notorious for airing live-action movies, and the network has produced a few live-action shows of its own. Canadian broadcast regulations have prevented this from leading to total NetworkDecay, at least for the most part.
19
20Teletoon Canada should not be confused with Télétoon+, a cable TV network in France owned by Creator/{{Vivendi}}'s Canal+ group.

245!!Associated tropes
246* AdoredByTheNetwork: ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'' is practically Télétoon's flagship show since it airs at least three times a day (usually at 6pm, 9pm and 11pm). Since Fall 2011, they wouldn't even change its timeslot during a marathon of another show, special event or whenever a genre-oriented programming block was on. However, since Fall 2020, they dialed down a bit by moving the 11pm airing to another time. Leaving space for any other shows and movies to run in its place.
247** While this was likely due to [=CanCon=] requirements [[note]] As a former Category A specialty channel, the majority of Teletoon's schedule must consist of Canadian programming. [[/note]] some of Teletoon's older original programming, such as ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' or ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'', frequently aired in reruns years after they initially ended. ''Johnny Test'' and ''Totally Spies'' are two of the network's [[LongRunner longest-running]] series, while other shows, like ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Detentionaire}}'', only lasted at least 52 episodes. [[note]] Teletoon doesn't air reruns of the first season of ''Johnny Test'', nor the first, second, or sixth seasons of ''Totally Spies''. This is likely due to the first season of ''Johnny Test'' being produced by Creator/WarnerBros Animation, while seasons 3-5 of ''Totally Spies'' were animated by the Quebec-based Image Entertainment Corporation. [[/note]]
248** As a result of the CRTC's new broadcast rules taking effect in Fall 2017, Teletoon began airing more imported programming during the day. Much to the chagrin of its critics, Teletoon took advantage of this to air ''3 hours'' of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'' daily, when the most airtime that other shows have gotten was an hour or two. Unlike what happened with Creator/CartoonNetwork in the U.S, the show didn't completely take over the schedule, but for Teletoon as a whole, Canadian programming was downplayed significantly. Thankfully, this trend has somewhat been reversed since January 2018, when Teletoon added more reruns of their current original shows.
249* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer: Ever since Creator/CorusEntertainment gained full control of Teletoon, the network has really dropped the ball when it comes to properly promoting its programs. For example; the second season of ''Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge'' was incorrectly called ''Super Dino Charge'', instead of ''Dino Supercharge''; the final season of ''WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider|Man2012}}-Man'' was promoted as a new series, and then there's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9dbZyMg8NEM this promo]] for ''WesternAnimation/CounterfeitCat'' which refers to Gark as a ''she''.
250** Later on, Teletoon and the original Canadian incarnation of Cartoon Network promoted the ''WesternAnimation/{{Ben 10|2016}}'' reboot as the fifth season of the original series, while the former channel advertised the second season of ''Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel'' as a new series on their website. [[note]]Creator/{{Nickelodeon}}, who was the U.S. broadcaster for ''Power Rangers'' at the time, was also guilty of doing this.[[/note]]
251*** In the case of the Ben 10 reboot, Télétoon not only followed its English counterpart's promotion but used images from the original series to promote it.
252* CreatorsOddball: Any of the live-action series they funded, such as ''Series/MyBabysittersAVampire'', ''Majority Rules!'', and ''Mudpit''.
253* InternationalCoproduction: Teletoon has produced series in association with broadcasters and production companies from many other countries, with U.S., U.K., France, and Australia being the most common.
254** All of their anime dubs were co-productions with Japanese companies. For example, the dubs for ''Anime/{{Bakugan}}'' and [[Anime/BakuganBattlePlanet its reboot]] were co-productions between Nelvana and Creator/TMSEntertainment, while ''Anime/SpiderRiders''' dub was co-produced between Cookie Jar and Bee Train Production. ''WesternAnimation/{{Cybersix}}'' was also a Japanese co-production, once again with TMS.
255** ''WesternAnimation/AMissMallardMystery'' and the English dub of ''Journey to the West: Legends of the Monkey King'' were co-productions with Chinese studios.
256** The American Creator/SabanEntertainment co-produced ''WesternAnimation/WhatsWithAndy'' and ''WesternAnimation/BadDog'' for Teletoon with the Montreal-based Creator/CineGroupe.
257** ''WesternAnimation/{{Chaotic}}'' was produced for the channel by the American Creator/FourKidsEntertainment.
258** ''WesternAnimation/CloneHigh'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Undergrads}}'' were both also created in association with Creator/{{MTV}}.
259** ''WesternAnimation/HotelTransylvaniaTheSeries'' was produced for the channel by Creator/SonyPicturesAnimation and Creator/{{Nelvana}}.
260** ''WesternAnimation/PackagesFromPlanetX'' and ''WesternAnimation/AtomicPuppet'' were also co-produced in association with Creator/DisneyXD (the latter between Canada's Creator/MercuryFilmworks and France's Alphanim/Gaumont Animation). ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' and ''WesternAnimation/CounterfeitCat'' were produced in association with the U.K version (the former was from when it was branded as Jetix, and the latter with Britain's Creator/AardmanAnimations).
261** Other British co-productions include ''WesternAnimation/ChopSockyChooks'', ''WesternAnimation/PlanetSketch'', ''WesternAnimation/BromwellHigh'', ''WesternAnimation/CaptainStar'', and ''WesternAnimation/BlazingDragons''.
262** ''WesternAnimation/BoltsAndBlip'' was created for Teletoon by the Korean-Canadian studio [=ToonBox=] Entertainment.
263** French co-productions include ''WesternAnimation/TotallySpies'' (and ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingSpiez''), ''WesternAnimation/BlakeAndMortimer'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Creepschool}}'', ''WesternAnimation/DeltaState'', ''WesternAnimation/MyLifeMe'', the English dub of ''WesternAnimation/Patrol03'', ''WesternAnimation/PotatoesAndDragons'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Ratz}}'', ''WesternAnimation/FredsHead'', the first two seasons (based on the French episodes order) of ''WesternAnimation/{{Knuckleheads}}'' and the AnimatedAdaptation of ''[[ComicBook/BarbeRouge Redbeard]]''.
264** ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' was a co-production between the American Creator/WarnerBrosAnimation and Canada's Creator/CookieJarEntertainment, also in association with Creator/CartoonNetwork.
265** Creator/FoxKids co-produced ''WesternAnimation/TheRippingFriends'' in association with Teletoon.
266** The later seasons of ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' and [[WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentsTheRidonculousRace both]] [[WesternAnimation/TotalDramaRama spinoffs]], as well as ''WesternAnimation/{{Grojband}}'', were all co-produced by Creator/FreshTV in association with Creator/CartoonNetwork.
267** The fourth season of ''WesternAnimation/BravestWarriors'' was produced for Teletoon as a joint between Canada's Nelvana and the American Creator/FrederatorStudios, the latter company being owned by the Canadian holding company [[Creator/RainmakerEntertainment Wow! Unlimited Media]].
268** ''WesternAnimation/CupcakeAndDinoGeneralServices'', which was co-produced with Brazil's Creator/BirdoStudio and also in association with Creator/{{Netflix}} and Creator/AtomicCartoons.
269** ''WesternAnimation/TheDayMyButtWentPsycho'', ''WesternAnimation/YakkityYak'', ''WesternAnimation/PirateExpress'', and ''WesternAnimation/WinstonSteinburgerAndSirDudleyDingDong'' were all co-produced with Australian studios (the first with Studio Moshi, second with Kapow Pictures, and the last two with Sticky Pictures Ltd.).
270** Both versions of the ''WesternAnimation/{{George of the Jungle|2007}}'' reboot; the 2007 one was between Canada's Creator/StudioBProductions and Classic Media (now [[Creator/DreamWorksAnimation DreamWorks Classics]]), while the 2015 version was created by Canada's Creator/YowzaAnimation and Singapore's August Media Holdings.
271* OnlySoManyCanadianActors: Many of their original productions use the same pool of voice actors from either Toronto, Vancouver or Montreal. The few that don't, such as ''WesternAnimation/{{Chaotic}}'' or their British co-productions, pull their own version of the trope with their respective voice pools in New York and England.
272* ProductionPosse: Many of their shows were originally created by Creator/{{Nelvana}} and Creator/{{Cinar}} (and later Creator/CookieJarEntertainment), which isn't that unusual when one considers that both studios had a major hand in the establishment of the network. They're also pretty tight with Creator/FreshTV, with all of that studio's animated shows being among Teletoon's best-known original series.
273* ScrewedByTheNetwork: After Corus gained full ownership of Teletoon, incidents involving original and acquired programming have become very frequent.
274** An ''entire network'' was screwed over in Fall 2015, when Teletoon Retro (despite having a ''very large'' subscriber base with its French counterpart) was shut down to make room for the newly launched Creator/DisneyChannel and [[Creator/DisneyXD its siblings]], as well as to increase distribution for Creator/CartoonNetwork and Creator/AdultSwim. However, as a result, Teletoon briefly returned to airing classic cartoons and introduced modern versions of classics (like ''WesternAnimation/WabbitALooneyTunesProduction'', ''WesternAnimation/BeCoolScoobyDoo'', and ''WesternAnimation/ALVINNNAndTheChipmunks''). Plus, Teletoon at Night was pushed back to a shorter run-time on Mondays-Thursdays, allowing Teletoon to air more action cartoons, some of which have previously been screwed over. Though they ended up screwing over ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'', Teletoon would start airing the original ''WesternAnimation/{{Teen Titans|2003}}'' animated series (which had originally aired on YTV in its heyday) in reruns.
275*** Creator/CorusEntertainment would begin airing all of Cartoon Network and Adult Swim's shows exclusively on their Canadian counterparts. However, for some reason, reruns for Creator/CartoonCartoons and other contemporary shows from CN were removed from Cartoon Network Canada's schedule for a whole year[[note]]they did bring back the classic shows for March Break 2016 and ''WesternAnimation/{{Mad}}'' and ''[[WebVideo/TheAnnoyingOrange The High Fructose Adventures of Annoying Orange]]'' returned in Summer 2016[[/note]]. Instead, Corus used the channel to burn off recent Teletoon programming (to fulfill [=CanCon=] requirements). Even worse, for months after the switch, the channel never aired ''one single episode'' of ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' nor ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow''.
276*** Another downside to the switch was that, while Cartoon Network now has wider carriage, it was still a higher-tier network on some providers. This means that if CN wasn't in their current package, subscribers would have to pay extra. Plus, whereas Creator/AdultSwim launched their own SVOD app in Canada to allow Canadians to legally watch their original programming, including shows that weren't being aired on the Canadian version nor Teletoon at Night, Cartoon Network programming couldn't be streamed anywhere at the time. Perhaps realizing this, Corus would slowly phase Cartoon Network programming back to Teletoon over the next year.
277** Since 2013, shows produced by Cartoon Network Studios on Télétoon have caught plenty of flack, especially ''Regular Show'' (Announced premieres for new episodes have been pulled twice). The only new CN Studios-produced shows to air on the channel since then are the ''Ben 10'' reboot and the Creator/HBOMax originals ''WesternAnimation/TheFungies'' and ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTimeDistantLands''.
278** ''WesternAnimation/PirateExpress'' was only on the air for '''a single week''' in April 2015, in which Teletoon dumped the entire series in episode blocks aired in the middle of the day, and they haven't aired it again since.
279*** The same thing happened to the second season of ''WesternAnimation/OhNoItsAnAlienInvasion'', after its ChannelHop from YTV, and several episodes of ''Endangered Species''; dumping multiple episodes of both shows in the afternoon. While Teletoon kept ''Endangered Species'' on the schedule, neither the dumped episodes nor ''Oh No!'' have aired again since.
280*** ''WesternAnimation/{{Freaktown}}'' suffered the same fate. After airing the show on Mondays during the Summer of 2016, Teletoon suddenly aired multiple episodes of the show on the last Saturday of August before going on hiatus. The rest of the season was dumped onto Saturday afternoons in October 2016, appropriately enough, with the last episodes being aired on a lone Sunday afternoon.
281** Any [[WesternAnimation/MarvelUniverseDisneyXD Marvel]] show from Creator/DisneyXD that aired on Teletoon may qualify. Those looking forward to ''WesternAnimation/{{Guardians of the Galaxy|2015}}'' enjoyed being able to watch new episodes on Disney XD Canada day-and-date with the American channel. Meanwhile, season four of ''WesternAnimation/{{Ultimate Spider|Man2012}}-Man'' debuted on Teletoon seven months after its U.S premiere, while season three of ''WesternAnimation/AvengersAssemble'' premiered in November. While this is common for international broadcasts, what really makes this jarring is the fact that Corus Entertainment owns '''both''' channels.
282*** Especially after ''Ultimate Spider-Man'' came to an end, and season four of Avengers premiered, it seems new Marvel programming now only airs on Disney XD Canada, while Teletoon focuses more on Creator/DCComics-related fare.
283** Teletoon's broadcast of ''WesternAnimation/{{Young Justice|2010}}'' was CutShort after the first half of season one. The rest of the series did air on Cartoon Network Canada but, at the time, the network was only available on certain providers. Ironically, when Cartoon Network gained its wider coverage in Fall 2015, reruns of this show and older original programming were removed. At the very least, the complete series was available for streaming on Creator/{{Netflix}} in Canada. The show would get vindicated when ''[[WesternAnimation/YoungJusticeRevivalSeries Outsiders]]'' begin airing on Teletoon in 2019, and was made available to stream on [=StackTV=] via Creator/AmazonPrimeVideo Channels.
284** ''WesternAnimation/{{Knuckleheads}}'' originally had an eight-episode sneak peak on Télétoon la nuit. When the series officially premiered in Fall 2012, it was moved to the daytime schedule. It has since moved back to the nighttime block, or rather, ''the block itself'' moved to the time the series was airing.
285** Their run of ''WesternAnimation/TheAdventuresOfTeddyRuxpin'' in 1999 was broadcast at 10:00AM, when the target demographic was in school.
286* While all the other Cartoon Network shows were treated well on the channel, ''WesternAnimation/WhateverHappenedToRobotJones'' was only aired on the channel for a month....and aired on weekend mornings at 7AM, where almost no kid would be awake to see it.
287* ShortRunInPeru: Thanks to their poor treatment by Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} in the United States, ''Franchise/PowerRangers'' and ''Manga/YuGiOh'' became this, with new episodes premiering in Canada (and other countries) first.
288** In the case of the former, the first season of ''Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers'' finished its run in the Summer of 2019, long before Nick even put out a promo for their mid-season return in the fall.
289** ''Anime/YuGiOhArcV'' would premiere on Teletoon on July 24, 2015. Creator/{{Nicktoons}}, which aired reruns of previous installments, wouldn't premiere the series until ''seven months later'', and they even resorted to [[ScrewedByTheNetwork skipping the second season]] just to catch up.
