Cartoon Network (Spain)

Cartoon Network was a Spanish television channel operated by Turner Broadcasting System Spain. Being a version of the American television channel of the same name, the channel's programmes were mostly consisted of original productions from Cartoon Network and fellow WarnerMedia company Warner Bros., but it also broadcast other American and international productions.

Besides being available in Castilian Spanish, most shows were also available in English via a secondary audio feed.

Turner Broadcasting System Europe announced on 14 June 2013 that Cartoon Network and Cartoonito would close in Spain on 30 June 2013. Shortly before midnight on 1 July 2013, the channel ceased broadcasting in Spain after 20 years, with the last programme to be aired being an episode of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

Why has it closed?

 * 2008–2014 Spanish financial crisis: It is the only reason why the channel shutdown along with its sister channel, Cartoonito. In 2008, Spain was going through an economic crisis that caused unemployment and new tax increases year after year, which ended up affecting television companies like Turner, and as the costs to keep both operating have increased, Turner made the decision to close both channels on June 30, 2013.

Probability of returning
Despite the fact that by 2014 the aforementioned financial crisis was resolved. The channels did not have a chance to be relaunched with the fix of the situation, and it seems that they never will, since Turner has a single channel in Spain called Boing, where they broadcast all the newer content of Cartoon Network and Cartoonito on Spanish televisions.
