How the day is shaped
Mornings lean toward bright, easy cartoons that suit before school viewing. After school the pace lifts with returning favourites and action comedy. Early evening often carries double bills so families can watch together. When marathons or special event nights change the running order, the guide here updates so the times you see remain accurate.

Picture and sound
Cartoon Network 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.
Access 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. Some devices may 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.
