Cartoon Network is a Bulgarian channel, which started on October 1, 2009. It replaced the Pan-European Cartoon Network everywhere in Bulgaria. The channel is actually Cartoon Network Russia and South Eastern Europe in Bulgarian. It is fully translated in Bulgarian (including the station promos) and the dub is synchronized. Cartoon Network Bulgaria has its own advertising and doesn't show the other countries' advertising, because it switches to its own channel during the commercial break. Like the Pan-European Cartoon Network, it doesn't air any content owned by Warner Bros, except Looney Tunes shorts from late 1930s to middle 1940s, althought recently Duck Dodgers finally premiered in Fall 2009 on the Pan-European Boomerang and Batman: The Brave and the Bold will premiere on Cartoon Network Bulgaria on January 2010.
