Cartoon Network Records

**Cartoon Network Records** is the record label for the children's television channel Cartoon Network, which is owned by the Warner Bros. Television Studios division of Warner Bros. Entertainment, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery. The label featured new and emerging young musical artists, "triple threat" singers who would also act and dance on the network's series (singer Estelle being one of them), and soundtrack compilations based on Cartoon Network TV shows.

Cartoon Network released its first soundtrack album in 1995. The "Cartoon Network Records" name was first used in 2003, when Cartoon Network announced a partnership with Epic Records to form a new record label. In June 2005, Cartoon Network Records announced a new partner, Bertelsmann Music Group (later relaunched as BMG Rights Management). In 2008, a year before Sony Music acquired BMG’s labels after the end of their merger, Cartoon Network formed a new partnership with Sony to produce original soundtracks and shows. In July 2023, Columbia Records announced a worldwide music deal with Cartoon Network.

## Cartoon Network Music Inc.

Cartoon Network has also established two other publishers for its music: **Cartoon Network Tunes Inc.** (affiliated with ASCAP) and **Notes by Cartoon Network Inc.** (affiliated with PRS).
