Teletoon (stylized as TELETOON) is a Canadian English-language Category A specialty channel owned by Corus Entertainment that broadcasts animated programming. Its name is a portmanteau of "television" and "cartoon". The channel primarily airs various animated series, including both original and imported content. Its daytime programming is aimed at children and younger teenagers, while nighttime shows are targeted at older teenagers and adults. Teletoon operates two timeshift feeds running on Eastern and Pacific schedules. Along with Télétoon, it is available in over 7.3 million Canadian households as of November 2013. ==History== It was licensed in 1996 by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) after a related application for a channel to be called "Fun TV" had been denied. The channel was launched on October 17, 1997, with the first episode of ''Caillou''. At the time, it was known as ''The Animation Station'' before later adding, and then switching to, its current slogan: ''It's Unreal!'' When Teletoon was launched in 1997, it showed more mature fare as the day progressed, with a strong commitment to air diverse and international programming, and the ability to air a great majority of material uncut. A typical broadcast day started with preschool content at 7:00 a.m. EST and ended with adult content after midnight, airing more adult cartoons such as ''Duckman'' and various anime programs. In 1999, Teletoon started airing bumpers with its first mascot, Teletina.〔(【引用サイトリンク】archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20010429151839/http://www.teletoon.com/PostOffice/Archives_En/00_January.htm )〕 These bumpers were made by Spin Productions in Toronto. Several more bumpers using CGI animation made by Guru Studio subsequently premiered on the channel. An updated look for the channel, no longer featuring the original logo, was later created for a partial rebranding in 2005. The older bumpers were removed in 2007 as part of an on-air rebranding. Said rebrand took place on February 5, 2007; Teletoon's on-air appearance and its website were dramatically changed, the website for The Detour (then the name of its late night block) was moved to teletoon.com, and the aesthetic appearance of both the normal block and The Detour changed. Four years later, on September 6, 2011, Teletoon's on-air branding changed again to reflect the 50th anniversary of one of its owners, Astral Media, and to reflect the transition to digital television. Since then, Teletoon has begun airing a number of live-action programmes in the daytime, including original series such as ''My Babysitter's a Vampire'' and ''Mudpit'', as well as acquired programming and movies. This wasn't the first time the channel has aired live-action programming; Teletoon had aired the live-action ''Fireball XL-5'' during the 1997–98 season. Occasionally, the channel also airs live-action movies related to cartoons and comic books, such as ''Space Jam'', ''Sin City'', and ''Batman''. After Astral Media's stake in TELETOON Canada Inc was purchased by Corus Entertainment, several of Teletoon's original and acquired shows, primarily live-action series, began airing on YTV. In turn, Teletoon began airing anime series that aired on YTV, including ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'', beginning with ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal II'', and ''Pokémon'', beginning with ''XY'' and reruns of ''Pokémon: Advanced''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal premieres on Teletoon on Sunday )〕〔http://tvschedule.zap2it.com/tv/pokã©mon/EP00277927?aid=tvschedule〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SCHEDULE - teletoon.com )〕 The debut of ''Zexal'', in particular, marks the first time an acquired anime series aired on the channel since the debut of ''MegaMan NT Warrior'' back in 2003. Since its inception, Teletoon was best known for airing shows from Cartoon Network, which itself carries several Canadian animated series. However, on September 1, 2015, original programming from the U.S version moved over to its Canadian counterpart.〔http://www.teletoon.com/en/faq〕 Around the same time, several series from Teletoon Retro, which closed down on the same date, began airing on Teletoon.〔http://www.teletoonretro.com/en/channel-shift-faq/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Teletoon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
