MUMBAI: Turner Broadcasting System Asia Pacific is expanding its channel footprint in Indonesia with the launch of Cartoon Network HD on the national cable platform, First Media.
The launch of Cartoon Network HD is part of a regional rollout plan that kicked off in the Philippines in January. The new channel complements Turner‘s existing portfolio of news and entertainment channels currently available in Indonesia including CNN, Cartoon Network, Turner Classic Movies, truTV and Boomerang.
"Indonesia is a priority market for Turner in Asia and we‘re thrilled to be joining with First Media to pioneer the ultimate kids‘ TV viewing experience here. Our young and growing fan base is increasingly sophisticated in their content consumption, and Cartoon Network HD takes the experience of animated storytelling to a whole new level," said Turner Broadcasting System Asia Pacific SVP and MD, Entertainment Networks Sunny Saha.
Cartoon Network HD‘s programming line-up features international award-winning comedy series such as The Amazing World of Gumball, Adventure Time, Chowder and all-time classics like the Tom & Jerry Show, Pink Panther & Pals and Scooby-Doo.
For kids seeking adventure, alien-morphing boy hero Ben Tennyson will keep them entertained with all three series, Ben 10, Ben 10 Alien Force and Ben 10 Ultimate Alien.
