Toon-A-Vision is a Canadian TV channel. It shows animated cartoons for kids and teenagers. The channel started on June 19, 2018. It is owned by a company called Atlantic Digital Networks. The name "Toon-A-Vision" is a fun mix of "cartoon" and "television."

How Toon-A-Vision Started

In 2014, Atlantic Digital Networks got permission to create a TV service. It was first called "Atlantic Cartoon." This permission came from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). The CRTC is like the main boss for TV and radio in Canada.

The channel, now named Toon-A-Vision, officially began on June 19, 2018. It first appeared on Eastlink cable TV systems. You could watch it in high definition (HD). Huminah Huminah Animation helped create the channel.

Growing Bigger

By July 2019, Toon-A-Vision had many viewers. Because of this, Atlantic Digital Networks asked the CRTC for a full TV license. This new license was approved on September 1, 2020.

More TV providers started carrying the channel. Bell Satellite TV and Bell Fibe added Toon-A-Vision on December 5, 2019. Cogeco also launched the channel on its platforms on April 22, 2020. The channel was also planned to launch on Shaw Direct in 2022.
