Cartoon Network

Cartoon Network is an American TV channel owned and operated by Warner Bros. Discovery (via it's US Networks division). Launched on October 1, 1992 by the Turner Broadcasting System, the channel was originally meant as an archive for TBS' vast library of animated content, such as Hanna-Barbera, Tom and Jerry, and the majority of the pre-1948 Looney Tunes shorts. 
Although a few original series had aired on the channel in it's early years, it wasn't until 1996 that it's first true (in-house) original series would premiere, that being Dexter's Laboratory. Throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s, possibly in an attempt to combat Nickelodeon's successful Nicktoons lineup, the channel began airing some of it's most iconic programming, such as Ed, Edd n Eddy, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Samurai Jack, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, and Codename: Kids Next Door, most of which were branded under the Cartoon Cartoons banner.
In 2007, the channel began experimenting with live-action shows, and towards the end of the 2000s, various live-action shows, in addition to several new original series, became increasingly prominent.
In the 2010s, the channel started reverting back to a more traditional, cartoon-focused lineup, airing shows such as Adventure Time, Regular Show, The Amazing World of Gumball, and Steven Universe.
At the start of said decade, Cartoon Network also picked up the official dubbing and international broadcast rights to the Tamagotchi! anime from Bandai (after Viacom sold the distribution rights in 2009 after the release of Tamagotchi: The Movie), as the dub produced by Cookie Jar Entertainment was not licensed by them. The dub has since recieved highly positive reviews, and Tamagotchi merchandise, including the Virtual Pets, have generated high profits for Bandai and CN. In Latin America, however, new episodes of the Tamagotchi! anime series broadcasts on Nickelodeon Latin America while Cartoon Network Latin America broadcasts reruns of the Tamagotchi! anime series at the same time.
As of March 2021, Cartoon Network is available to approximately 94 Million pay-TV households in the United States. The channel began expanding to other countries shortly after it's launch, and international feeds of the channel now exist in most parts of the world.
== Tamagotchi-themed Bumpers ==
=== Check It 1.0 ===
* European Bumper: We start off with Kuchipatchi taking a bite out of a white circle on a black square, thus forming the "C". He then throws it, before cutting to Memetchi and Makiko rolling the first and third "O"s into their respective spots on the logo. Subsequently, we see KuroMametchi kick the second "R" and first "N" like a soccer ball, which is followed by Chamametchi and Imotchi placing the "E" and second "T", and Gozarutchi materializing out of nowhere to insert the "K" into position. We then see Akaspetchi and Pipospetchi chuck the second "O" and first "T" past Spacytchi, followed by Violetchi sticking the "W" into place. Kikitchi is then shown jumping, and subsequently flinging the second "N" into it's spot, before cutting to Lovelitchi, who pulls out the "A" and first "R" from her heart-shaped bag, and drops them into place. Finally, we see Mametchi, who presses a remote that causes the completed "CARTOON NETWORK" checkerboard to shake, contract, and shoot upwards like a firework, much to the astonishment of the Tama-Friends. The bumper concludes with the two blocks of the 2010 Cartoon Network logo vertically spinning into place, before coming to a halt, briefly showing a symbol resembling a Tamagotchi Virtual Pet. The music in this bumper is a PAL-toned instrumental of GO-GO! Tamagotchi!.
