Toonami is a television channel that launched in Africa on June 1, 2017.[1] It is operated and distributed in Africa by Turner Broadcasting, a Time Warner company.[1] Turner has distribution agreements with region specific mobile streaming services such as Black-Cell C and Maroc Telecom.[2] The channel was formerly available through the Kwesé satellite television platform; however, on November 1, 2018, Toonami along with most of the pay-tv service’s channel offerings were removed.[3]
The channel is named after the Toonami programming block created in the United States, using a logo similar to the one introduced in 2004 but with different branded promos that are also used in Asia. The programming consists of superhero series such as ThunderCats, Batman: The Animated Series and Ben 10. The channel also features a Toonami Movies block through which various feature films and direct-to-DVD movies will be shown.[1]
