History
[
edit
]
Tooniverse officially launched on December 1, 1995, with the launch of cable TV in Korea, and was recognized as a channel more unfamiliar than terrestrial broadcasting in the early days. Up until its launch, cartoons were normally restricted to the 5-7pm timeslots on terrestrial television networks, as well as weekend mornings, per the law. This changed when Tooniverse launched and aired cartoons 24 hours a day. While the launch of the channel enabled cable subscribers to watch cartoons throughout the day, this raised concerns from viewers, as well as the nature of its programming, which was mostly imported, much like initial cable channels in Korea, which were considered to be plagued by repeats.

Most of the imported animations were Japanese, requiring attention from parents.
[2]
As of 2009, the channel is operated under
CJ ENM
, which has steadily preoccupied the 5th place in the cable TV viewing market share as the viewership rate has gradually increased since 2000. A month before, the English education video
Dooly's Backpacking

In the meantime, as ad revenues in the pay-TV market fell sharply due to worsening management, the Internet Multimedia Broadcasting Business Act for IPTV commercialization passed the National Assembly in an environment of broadcasting and communication convergence, as part of the increase in revenues from subscription fees and diversification of the broadcasting market. In 2008, the second half of IPTV, the leading provider KT to start, and in 2009, latecomers, which was SK Broadband and LG U+ communications by three after consultation with IPTV operators, and initiate transmission.
