Boomerang is the name of television stations owned by the U.S. Cartoon Network group, which is part of Turner Broadcasting System.

Cartoon Network launched Boomerang, a spin-off channel that primarily shows classic animated series from the Warner Bros., Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Hanna-Barbera archives. Outside the US, the channel has spin-offs in a number of countries, including the UK, Poland, Australia, Germany, Spain, France, Brazil and some Eastern European countries.

The German offshoot has been in existence since June 1, 2006, and its programming largely corresponds to that of the other European Boomerang stations. Boomerang Deutschland can be received for a fee on the digital services of the German cable network operators Vodafone Kabel Deutschland, KabelKiosk and Unitymedia, as well as via satellite on arena and, since September 1, 2007, on Premiere Star. Since Premiere switched to Sky Deutschland, it can be received via the Sky Welt Extra program package. The program is also available via UMTS on Vodafone Live! Mobile TV and T-Mobile Mobile TV (premium channel for a fee).

Since April 2007, the channel has been distributed in Switzerland by Cablecom in its digital offering. Boomerang's program guide can be viewed on the homepage of Vodafone Kabel Deutschland. In addition, the channel is also shown in Austria.

In September 2011, Boomerang launched the preschool programming window Cartoonito together with kabel eins and sixx. On September 20, 2011, Turner announced that Boomerang HD would launch in Germany in 2013.

On 31 October 2013, Turner announced that Boomerang HD will launch on Vodafone Kabel Deutschland, Telekom Entertain & Teleclub on 3 December 2013.

On October 14, 2014, Turner announced that Boomerang in German-speaking countries would also receive the new global design and logo. The station's new look was implemented on February 16, 2015.
