Spacetoon (Arabic: سبيستون or سبيس تون) is a pan-Arab free-to-air television channel that specializes in animation and children programs. It began broadcasting on 15 March 2000[5] and it is headquartered in Dubai with offices in Riyadh.[6] The channel targets children from 4 and up. Its late night block Space Power is targeted at teenagers and young adults. The Spacetoon company also maintains a video-on-demand app called Spacetoon Go.
The Spacetoon company has had two now-defunct channels in the Arab world, Space Power TV and Spacetoon English.
The main Indonesian channel began airing on 24 March 2005 in Jakarta.[7] It later became NET., and its broadcast remains on satellite television. Currently, there are three Spacetoon channels in Indonesia: Spacetoon, Space Shopping and Spacetoon Plus. In India, Spacetoon India exists as licensing company, but not as a separate TV channel. In South Korea, Spacetoon launched in 2005 but has since closed down.[8] Spacetoon is currently broadcast in 22 countries, and has an audience of over 130 million viewers.[9]
