Cartoon Network (formerly Teletoon) is a Canadian English-language specialty channel owned by Corus Entertainment. The channel primarily broadcasts various animated series, including both original and imported content, aimed at children and younger teenagers. Until 2019, the channel also carried programming aimed at older teens and adults.

Teletoon was licensed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission in 1996 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 of its launch, Teletoon showed more mature fare as the day progressed, with a strong commitment to diverse and international programming and the ability to air most of the material uncut. All of its bumpers were made by Cuppa Coffee Studios.

Teletoon was originally known as "The Animation Station", with "It's Unreal!" as its secondary slogan and "It's Time to Twist!" as its alternate slogan from 1999 to 2000. The latter slogan was used during the channel's pre-launch, but it would not be used again until 1998; in 2000, it would become the channel's only slogan. In 1999, Teletoon started airing bumpers with its first mascot, "Teletina". These bumpers were made by Spin Productions in Toronto. Several more bumpers using CGI animation made by Guru Studio subsequently premiered on the channel.

Following the logo update, a new alternate logo would be introduced later on, consisting of a wordmark of the channel's name in a custom “Telestro” font (a modified version of Estro). This wordmark appeared in on-air presentations and certain programming blocks.

An updated look for the channel, no longer featuring the original logo (and fully utilizing the wordmark), was later created for a partial rebranding on August 29, 2005.

On February 5, 2007, the channel’s wordmark was removed, and the original logo was officially replaced as part of a major on-air rebranding. Teletoon's on-air appearance and its website were dramatically changed; the website for The Detour (the former name of its late-night block) was moved to teletoon.com, and the aesthetic appearance of both the normal block and The Detour changed.

On September 5, 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.

In 2015, Teletoon's primary colour was changed to green. From September 1, 2015, to fall 2016, original programming from the American channel was moved over to its Canadian counterpart. Around the same time, several programs airing on Teletoon Retro, which closed down on the same date, began airing on Teletoon. Teletoon would also premiere new original programming from Cartoon Network's sister channel, Boomerang. On April 1, 2019, following the relaunch of Action as Adult Swim, Teletoon's adult-oriented programs were moved to Adult Swim, with Teletoon now airing family-oriented programming full-time. However, some adult-oriented programming may air occasionally on the channel during the nighttime hours.
