Remember when Saturday mornings meant pajamas, a bowl of cereal, and your favorite cartoons? Boomerang brings back a little of that nostalgia with a lineup of animated classics that have entertained generations. Its cartoon lineup includes familiar favorites like “Tom and Jerry” and “Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!”
You can find Boomerang through select TV providers, but there’s a difference between getting the live channel and streaming individual cartoons on demand. And just because your TV package includes Cartoon Network doesn’t necessarily mean Boomerang comes with it.
Here’s where to find Boomerang channel numbers and viewing options so you can enjoy a little cartoon nostalgia whenever the mood strikes.

Boomerang’s channel numbers and package availability vary by TV provider and service area. Some providers include it in higher-tier packages or kids’ add-ons, so it may not appear in every lineup.
