Cartoon Network

Cartoon Network is an American television channel owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment, a division of AT&T's WarnerMedia. The channel launched all the way back on October 1st, 1992, it when it first started as a TV channel for reruns of classic Looney Tunes, Hanna Barbera, MGM, and Popeye cartoons. But in 1993, the network started their own career of original content when they launched their first original series, The Moxy Pirate Show (later renamed to simply as The Moxy Show, and later known as The Moxy and Flea Show at the end of its run), but it wasn't the first one to be fully produced, their second original series, Space Ghost: Coast to Coast, was the network's very first fully produced original series.

## Cartoon Network Legacy

From March to May 2020, Cartoon Network acknowledged their old shows such as Dexter's Laboratory and Chowder as part of a hashtag known as Cartoon Network Legacy. It was most likely used to promote the WarnerMedia streaming service, HBO Max, due to the fact that they continued to focus on modern content after they posted a tweet video based on Chowder.

Cartoon Network also re-released some of their old shows on their streaming app to promote HBO Max.
