History
Télétoon was launched by TPS at its launch on 16 December 1996.
Télétoon +1 was launched on 2 September 2002, importing the popular concept in UK of « replay channel ».
Télétoon joined Canalsat on 21 March 2007 when it merged with TPS.
From 2006 to 2009, an English-language version of Télétoon was distributed on MyTV in Nigeria.
In 2012, Canal+ wanted to remove Télétoon+ of ISP offers on 2 April, which was part of the obligations imposed when TPS and Canalsat merged to allow ISPs to develop their TV offers. The previous year, TPS-Canalsat merger was "cancelled" by the Autorité de la Concurrence and Canal+ was heavily fined for its dominant position without having respected its obligations, and the French Competition Authority imposed new injunctions on 23 July 2012. Meanwhile, Canal+ tried to convince the Council of State that its economic situation was difficult.
Since 1 July 2015, Télétoon+ is available in HD.
In 2017, Télétoon+ became a Canal+ exclusive. Since this year Télétoon+ started to air shows in their first run rather than most of them premiering on Canal+ Family and started airing live-action shows around this period.
