### 2011-2023 (as Boomerang)

On October 12, 2011, at 6:00 a.m (CEST), the channel was split into two different feeds. This feed focused on Central and Eastern Europe, and the HQ feed centered on the Benelux, Cyprus, Czechia, Greece, Middle East & Africa and Portugal. Also on August, 1, 2007, the channel started broadcasting in Astra 1K and Hot Bird 7A satellites in the territorries of the Commonwealth of Independent States and the Baltic countries and the channel added a partial Russian audio track and since October 1, 2013 the channel started to air with a complete Russian audio track. A preschoolers block called Cartoonito joined in the both feeds as a morning and afternoons.

On December 31, 2013, the HQ feed stopped broadcasting in Portugal because Cartoon Network got a localized feed replacing the EMEA feed in Portugal.

Boomerang HQ continued to air in Benelux, between November 2014 and February 2015 Boomerang CEE replaced Boomerang HQ in the Benelux and the channel got a Dutch feed between February 2, 2015 and 2017, since 2017 the feed was available on the Benelux.

On April 21, 2015, Boomerang got a localized Portuguese feed replacing Boomerang HQ in Angola and Mozambique, the Portuguese feed was supposed to get launched the same day in Portugal, but the launch got canceled, after three years, on April 26, 2018, the Portuguese feed got launched in Portugal, before the launch the shows aired on Boomerang in Angola and Mozambique got premiered on the portuguese feed of Cartoon Network.

On April 4, 2018, the channel got switched from 4:3 to 16:9 aspect ratio. On October 1, 2018, Boomerang CEE replaced Boomerang Germany and took over the channel slot. The channel launched a German audio track and a German sub-feed made for air localized ads, and has no Russian ratings icons being displayed in the broadcast, differing from the main feed. Sometimes they were shown anyway because of mistakes

Since November 10, 2020, Boomerang has received a Czech license (RRTV) in order to ensure the continuation of legal broadcasting in the European Union in accordance with the EU Directive on Audiovisual Media Services (AVMSD) and the law on the single market after the UK leaves the European Union. Since the Czech Republic has minimum broadcasting rules, it was chosen for licensing purposes in the EU. Broadcasting center of the TV channel is still located in London.
