History
As Boomerang (2011–2023)
On 5 June 2005, Boomerang EMEA was launched on the channel feed as it expanded to Europe.
Between November 2014 and February 2015, Boomerang CEE replaced Boomerang HQ in the Netherlands and Belgium, and got a localized Dutch feed between 2 February 2015 and 2017.[11] Since 2017 the CEE feed is available in the Netherlands and Belgium.[12]
On 4 April 2018, Boomerang CEE switched to the 16:9 aspect ratio.
Since 10 November 2020, Boomerang has received a Czech licence (RRTV) in order to ensure the continuation of legal broadcasting in the European Union in accordance with the EU Directive on Audiovisual Media Services (AVMSD) and the law on the single market after the UK leaves the European Union. Since the Czech Republic has minimum broadcasting rules, it was chosen for licensing purposes in the EU. Broadcasting centre of the TV channel is still located in London.[1][2]
On Monday, 1 November 2021, Boomerang CEE launched a new Bulgarian-language audio track, as well as a Bulgarian channel sub-feed for Bulgarian television advertisement commercials, only on Bulsatcom, for now as A1 Bulgaria.[15] On Friday, 3 December 2021, Boomerang CEE launched a new Czech-language audio track.
