Modern "Stoon" logo

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 programmes 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.

Programmes for Spacetoon were released in blocks, under ten different planets;

  • Action Planet (أکشن) (excitement/mystery)
  • Sport Planet (رياضة) (challenge/strength)
  • Adventures Planet (مغامرات) (imagination/thrill)
  • Comedy Planet (كوميديا) (laughter)
  • Movies Planet (أفلام) (animated movies)
  • Abjad Planet (أبجد) (numbers and letters/education)
  • Bon Bon Planet (بون بون) (heroes/adults/preschool programmes)
  • History Planet (تاريخ) (historical series) (former, 2000–2013)
  • Science Planet (علوم) (science/discovery/knowledge)
  • Zumoroda Planet (زمردة) (programmes aimed for girls; the name means "emerald" in Arabic). Also referred to as Zumorroda, Zomoroda; other renderings of زمردة.

Spacetoon English was an English television channel based on Spacetoon Arabic with the same ten planets, but Zumoroda is known as Zomoroda, and Abjad is known as Alpha. On August 19, 2009 it temporarily stopped broadcasting and a new programming block was launched called Spacetoon Radio, broadcasting cartoon themes, songs, and classic animations in Arabic; until on December 31, 2010 it relaunched as an internet radio channel with Space Power.[4]
