Teletoon Canada has formed an association with Turner Broadcasting System to bring specialty television channel Cartoon Network to Canada. The agreement also includes the channel's Adult Swim line of late-night programming. Teletoon will launch the Cartoon Network brand in Canada in standard and high definition television, video-on-demand, online and mobile versions later this year. "Cartoon Network and Adult Swim are beloved brands with programs that have a large and loyal global audience," said Stuart Snyder, president and COO of Turner Broadcasting's animation, young adults and kids media division. "We are looking forward to extending the reach of both of these brands in the Canadian marketplace with our new partnership with Teletoon."
