Boomerang is part of the Welcome Pack, and there is a known issue with the channel showing an authorization error that is being worked on at this time.

ok thanks for information

 

[Bobby]

I stand corrected...

 

[JasonSu]

The known issue was showing resolved about 30 minutes ago, so you should have the channel back, please let us know if you continue to have issues.

Bobby 9 times out of 10 your would probably be right with the free preview reason for the missing channel

So glad it is back! We love the classic cartoons! Plus it is one of the few 24/7 cartoon channels for kids on Dish. So, the kids will be happy! Much rather them watch the classic cartoons than the new ones anyway!

I don't understand why that channel isn't in the America's Top 120. I used to watch it all the time in the 250 pack.

Me that's why it's not in the top 120. To make people upgrade.

Because TWC(Turner Broadcasting System) knows how to get the most profit out of that channel and other channels, via subscriptions. It definitely is a niche channel, and a popular niche channel that pulls at the nostalgia strings of most customers that will watch it. We all have our channels, and that one is hugely popular in the 25-48 range.

Boomerang w/o cartoons? What will they replace them with? More reality pap?

And with another channel that will likely air the same thing as 10 others the value of television becomes an even more debatable topic.

The expansion of unique cable channels in the 90s has lead to the "sameness" of the teens. We have nothing but network reruns, infomercials , reality schlock and very little to any original programming. That is what cable and even satellite tv has become. Makes cord cutting more and more attractive to more and more people.

Boomerang needs to show cartoons from the 60's thru 80's not 90's and 2000's . My opinion

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Well I just looked and it will still remain cartoons but more modern cartoons such as Powerpuff Girls... they just relaunched it yesterday in Argentina. http://www.rapidtvnews.com/20150620...rang-relaunch-in-argentina.html#axzz3e5w7ykpU

Ha. This will probably catch me some heat, but I just got that tattoo in May. Power Puff girls, one each for each of my nieces.
