Cartoon Network Website Shut Down, Viewers Told to Go to Max

[Mark Jeffries]

This follows Warner Bros. Discovery's announced Sept. 30 shutdown of the streaming version of sister channel Boomerang and Paramount shutting down several cable channel websites earlier this year--the phone app or streaming apps are still available, along with their social media accounts (including YouTube) and the fact that they are still on from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET on linear cable (Adult Swim takes up the rest of the time), but the kids who were watching their shows on the website are now being told to get mommy to subscribe to Max:

Below is the email I got from my Boomerang subscription on August 1.  Boomerang is $40 a year, and my sub runs through mid July 2025. So, I guess I’m getting Max for that amount until then? The distressing part is the “some content may not be available” part. Because of course everything has to get shittier. 

I guess collies should be wary of David Zaslav.

Boomerang is Moving to Max

Hey folks, 

 

We’re reaching out to let you know that Boomerang will be moving to Max, and as of September 30th, the Boomerang app and website will no longer be available. The exciting news is that your Boomerang subscription will automatically transfer to Max (Ad-Free) with no change to your subscription price until further notice!   

 

Here’s what you need to know: 

Logging In: Starting September 30th, you can log in to Max using your Boomerang email and password.  

Kids Profile: We’ll have a Kids Profile set up in your account, allowing you to set parental controls and ratings restrictions. 

Max Content: On Max, enjoy loads of Boomerang fan-favorites with Scooby, Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry and more! While some Boomerang content may not be available, you’ll have access to Max’s full catalog of iconic series, hit movies, fresh originals, breaking news, and family favorites including The Amazing World of Gumball, Teen Titans Go!, Lego Batman and more. 

Billing: Throughout September, Apple will be transitioning your billing from Boomerang to Max.
