Evenings lean into family friendly double bills so everyone can watch together.

Picture and sound
Boomerang is widely available in high definition on supported devices. Expect crisp lines, bright colours and steady motion during fast action scenes. Streaming usually runs a few seconds behind over the air reception. That small delay is normal and helps keep playback smooth on variable connections.
Availability note
This live channel is intended for viewers in the UK and Ireland. Programme rights can differ by territory and by season, which may affect availability when you travel. Devices can also enforce region settings automatically.
Live viewing reminder
In the UK, watching any television channel live, whether on a TV platform or through a streaming player, requires a TV Licence. On demand viewing is treated differently, but live channels fall under the licence rules.
