Cartoon Network (Wales)

Cartoon Network was a Welsh television channel that launched in 2016. The channel was a localized version of the U.S. cable network Cartoon Network.

On February 13th, 2017, it launched a Welsh version of Cartoon Network's late-night block Adult Swim, but discontinued it on August 9th, 2018 when Cartoon Network Wales was moved to the children's category on most Welsh cable providers.

On June 9th, 2019, Curiousgorge66 Studios shuffled the channel, Disney Channel, and Disney XD to Aura International due to the Aura split from Curiousgorge66 Studios.

In November 2019, the channel, alongside its sister channels, was selected among six international networks to have a livestream simulcast in the United States courtesy of Flare+. Due to rights issues for English-language broadcast rights, only the Welsh feed would be provided. NickFamily Stream carried the livestream from December 2019 until its shutdown in April 2020.

On January 3rd, 2022, Aura announced that, due to their international operations' increased focus on Flare+, both Aura and Cartoon Network would shutter their Welsh feeds by the end of the year. Other reasons stated for the latter's shutdown was Aura UK not having the capacity to upgrade the channel to the Redraw Your World or Pastel brandings and a then-upcoming branding license expiration. Flare+ would remove the Welsh-language feed of the channel from its livestreams upon its shutdown. On cable providers that have not yet provided the UK-wide feed in addition to the Welsh feed, the UK feed would replace the Welsh feed upon the latter's shutdown.

The feed ceased operations on December 31st, 2022 at midnight GMT following a final marathon of Steven Universe, after which a still image acknowledging that Aura Networks UK had shut down operations was shown. Cable providers that replaced the Welsh feed with the UK-wide feed would also switch to the latter feed at midnight GMT.
