Spacetoon
Spacetoon (Arabic: سبيستون or سبيس تون) is a pan-Arab television channel which began broadcasting on March 15, 2000.[1] It is free-to-air and specialises in animation, including various programs for children, while the late-night Space Power block was aimed at teenagers and young adults.
The channel is headquarted in Dubai and there are also offices in Riyadh. There is also a video-on-demand app known as Spacetoon Go.
The Spacetoon logo has undergone various changes; with the latest logo resembling "Stoon" rather than the earlier "Spacetoon".
Spacetoon was also launched in Indonesia as Spacetoon Indonesia on March 24, 2005 as founded by H. Sukoyo; the co-founder of Trans7 (TV7) for terrestrial television[2], and launched again in 2013 for satellite). In 2010, it was launched in Ukraine as Spacetoon Malaytko (meaning "Spacetoon Kids").[3] Furthermore, other variations of Spacetoon have included Spacetoon Korea (스페이스툰) (2003), Spacetoon India (2006) (سبيس تون الهندية); though Spacetoon India was a licensing company, not a separate television channel. Spacetoon India is known for having officially localised Hello Kitty in Hindi under partnership with Sanrio. Not all variations of Spacetoon are still active.
