In May 2024, a digital multicast specialist is launching a new subchannel network dedicated to classic cartoons in a partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery. Now, this vintage animation offering is being added to the DirecTV lineup, thanks to a multi-year carriage agreement.
The deal, announced Wednesday by MeTV Toons parent Weigel Broadcasting Co., allows MeTV Toons to join DIRECTV’s streaming and satellite homes on Monday (6/30).
MeTV Toons will be found on channel 295 for Choice and above customers, as well as inside DirecTV’s new genre packs.
MeTV Toons joins Weigel networks MeTV, Start TV, and Heroes & Icons, already available on DIRECTV satellite and streaming.
“Viewers have fallen in love with MeTV Toons, which in just its first year has attracted a passionate and loyal audience,” said Weigel Broadcasting Co. Vice Chairman Neal Sabin. “It is exciting to further extend the network’s national reach. With its broad multigenerational appeal, we know MeTV Toons will bring incredible entertainment and joy to DIRECTV subscribers around the country.”
