History

Télétoon was launched by TPS at its launch on 16 December 1996.[1]

1996–1999 Télétoon logo.

Télétoon +1 was launched on 2 September 2002, importing the popular concept in UK of « replay channel ».[2]

Télétoon joined Canalsat on 21 March 2007 when it merged with TPS.[3]

From 2006 to 2009, an English-language version of Télétoon was distributed on MyTV in Nigeria.

In 2012, Canal+ wanted to remove Télétoon+ of ISP offers on 2 April, which was part of the obligations imposed when TPS and Canalsat merged to allow ISPs to develop their TV offers.[4] The previous year, TPS-Canalsat merger was "cancelled" by the Autorité de la Concurrence and Canal+ was heavily fined for its dominant position without having respected its obligations,[5] and the French Competition Authority imposed new injunctions on 23 July 2012.[6][7] Meanwhile, Canal+ tried to convince the Council of State that its economic situation was difficult.[8]

Since 1 July 2015, Télétoon+ is available in HD.[9]

In 2017, Télétoon+ became a Canal+ exclusive.[10] Since this year Télétoon+ started to air shows in their first run rather than most of them premiering on Canal+ Family and started airing live-action shows around this period.[11]
