  • unrivaled channel with TNT, these were the best intros and the voice of TNT, classy! ;)

  • i remember watching cartoon netwrok then when tnt came on i would watch wcw lool

  • Can you explain to me why is there huge sidebars on there when you have Analogue Cable back in 1998?

    Every night CN shows Courage the Cowardly Dog, Cow and Chicken also featuring I Am Weasel and Johnny Bravo CLASSICS!!

  • @Chao772VersionIV wasn't this before Cartoon Network went widescreen, most channels back then had huge sidebars.

  • @ROTSSisalive Yes this was before CN went widescreen in September 2011 back then it used to be 4:3.

    I noticed that TCM, TCM 2, Cartoon Network Too, Boomerang and Cartoonito still remain 4:3

  • @Chao772VersionIV all of steviegtvreturns videos has recorded from Cable & Wireless.

  • Friday, 9pm = WCW Nitro!

  • Comment removed

  • cartoon network = little zombie creator

  • I remember getting my dad to ask Videotron and then later known as Cable & Wireless why it says 24 hours a day on cable every night when it closes down, why aren't we gettting it? Their reply was something like "we're sorry but we do not carry it 24 hours"

  • I was like 4 years old I memba I would be running around the house with my cousins cuz tnt came up n it was boring. Lol I still remember this. Good times

  • this was fantastic. but what is the music? anyone knows?

  • Why does it show 23:00 but the guy says 11? Isn't it normal to say 23:00?

    Don't they usually do this on Channel 4 and BBC?

  • I did refer that before, there is TNT and Cartoon Network. Now it is removed :[

  • What is the handover song at 1:07? Been looking for it for years D:

  • 0:44 Ca-toon Network?

  • I remember this!

  • Wish This was Still happening

  • Where's the promo where they play the funky music and show face-paced clips including scenes like Space Ghost being an impostor, Dee Dee screaming, and Wilma and Betty's hair getting messed up.

  • I was 8 years old then , good times. We had quality cartoons and no corporate bullshit was promoted.

  • i remember to be always scared by the music at 1:10 

  • CABLECABLECABLECABLECABLECABLE­

  • @Floobegusted I was also sad when Cartoon Network ended. It finished at 7pm at one point but I liked the bouncing letters.

  • cartoon network was everything for me...

  • Comment removed

  • ...do they show horror films in TNT, cuz if they did, then I wished I would have stayed up late back then!

  • Back to 9 pm again.After the young justice promo it sign off saying good night.

  • I have extremely fond memories of cartoon network switching over to TNT at 9 pm sharp everyday!! We'd just finish dinner & our parents would take control of the TV remote from then on.....miss those good 'ol days...nice memories of 'em!! However I'd like to mention that Cartoon network sucks big time these days..with all those crappy japanese cartoons (pokaemon etc).... big shit load!! Cartoons from power zone, Dexter's lab & those christmas specials which would be aired through December wr gr8!

  • @162004akhil i miss toonami the most becuse dexter power puff girls etc. have came back on in the states

  • I remember watching Cartoon Network as a kid, then when TNT came on...it was bed time. Good times, man, good times.

  • They used to show WCW wresting on TNT i'm sure.

  • @DopedUpMonkey - Yes, WCW Monday Nitro aired on TNT at 9:00pm (now TCM in the U.K.).

  • @steviegTVreturns

    You didn't get 24hr CN?

    Heh, I did.

    Lebanese piracy FTW

  • miss those good old childhood days

  • cartoon network era perfecto, ahora no tanto

  • so how would one tell time over there? for example, if I said the show starts at 11pm, would it just be common to say "it starts at 2300"? or would I just say it starts at 11? Stupid question, I know, but you don't often see military time over here in the states.

  • @chrisz71 Like the USA, here in the UK we don't use 24 hour timings on TV at all really, but it is common to do so within continental Europe, and as this was recorded from the then pan-European version of Cartoon Network and TNT, then they usually gave out the 24hours times all the time.

  • @steviegTVreturns do you happen to have any of the tnt commercials on cartoon network? i remember they were recorded in black and white, and it was usually with a man in a coat talking and narrating

  • @chrisz71

    You usually say 23:00. twenty-three 'o clock. It's usally called Digital time, as opposed to analog time.

  • or water fights in summer, then come home and have my tea, play some more ps1, watch tom and jerry then wait fo my dad to get in and we would watch films on tnt or wcw nitro wrestling. And sometimes we would get a take away, or rent a movie from blockbusters and maybe a ps1 game. Ive never been happier since, and probably never will.

  • Wow this takes me back. I used to love watching tom and jerry, johnny bravo, 2 stupid dogs, cow and chicken, i am weezal, the flintstones, the jetsons, powerpuff girls and so on. I remember my plans for the day would consist of get up early, play with toys in toy box or master system or later ps1 for abit. Then watch some cartoons or saturday morning kids shows like live and kicking. Eat cereal. get my bmx out and knock on for my mates, ride round all making little fires or peg guns.

  • When I was a child, I used to be sad that Cartoon Network had finished for the day but I liked the fact that it showed a little bit of a cartoon and that the R looked like a hand and the T looked like a pin also I liked it when the letters were bouncing around.

  • Do you have the early Space Ghost Commercial where those two guys are talking and Yogi Bear keeps popping out of the crater?

  • God I remember this so clearly. I would watch WCW Nitro on a Friday night, and there was an hour where WWF Raw is War crossed over with it. If I remember correctly, Nitro was 9-11, and Raw was 10-12. Great times.

  • OMG!! this used to piss me off as a kid!!!

  • This would work today with the transfer to Adult Swim.

  • i must hurry home and watch It happened at the Worlds Fair onTNT before it starts

  • those were the days

  • I remember this. I used to hate it when CN switched over to tnt at night though.

  • @AnimeFoxxx TNT is now TCM but CN is now 24 Hrs.

  • and then they messed up...

  • lol ZZZTOON NETWORK

  • in my child as always. if its 9 pm and cartoon network go's a sleep lol

    than its my bed time tho Xd

    funny haha i had that in my childhood. oh man cartoon network go's to sleep.bed time!!!XD

  • Cartoon network was great, and i always remember this on Fridays waiting for WCW Nitro to come on TNT

  • Boy, this takes me back. Nothing like watching a Mike Enos vs. Lizmark Jr. match on Thunder at 11:30 at night. Those truly were "the good old days", what the fuck were we thinking, LOL.

  • i remember this, i never thought id see it again, only seen this cos i was on a wcw nitro vid and saw this......memories

  • Anybody know the song at the start during the 24 hour cabel ad?

  • Anybody know the song at the start duing the 24 hour cable ad ?

  • I am missing those times

  • I am missing those times

  • i remember this coz i used to watch WCW Nitro on Friday nights at 9pm

  • This sure takes me back, I used to watch TNT for WCW Nitro which came on straight after the Cartoon Network handover to TNT, so I saw the handover sequence many times.

  • those cartoon network and boomerang shows i like was Scooby doo where are you tom and jerry looney tunes (with bugs bunny) hong kong phooey the mask animated series ed edd n eddy dextors laboratory

  • Excellent video....i remember in India at that time Cartoon Network stopped broadcast at 9pm IST and then TNT followed up...miss those good old days

    Now days cartoon network programmes are not so good quality as it used to be

  • Do you have any videos of WCW Nitro or Thunder on TNT?

  • Wow! PPG was a new show in this time (1998)!

  • this used to be my favourtite time for sat tv in the uk back in 97

    cartoon network would close, then wouldcome on wcw nitro...

    the anticipation was crazy

  • 1:06 REALLY am glad that that didn't air in

    the states.

  • I remember watching WCW on this..

  • 1:07 I want that song so bad

  • ah...too bad...ok...thanks anyway.

  • man I remember getting up on Saturday mornings

    Eating Cap't Crunch/resses Puffs Cereal watching Cartoonetwork. or watching toonami & CCF after school

    Now I'm looking for a paying job.

    Time waits for no one.XP

  • i remember tnt really pissed me of cos it ended cartoon network at a early time :D

    (this is when i had diamond cable)

  • Well remember in those days the other kids channels went off well earlier, TCC shut at 5PM, Nick shut at 7PM, as did Fox Kids, 9PM wasn't too bad for CN, but I do remember it being 8PM on fridays.

  • didn't Fox Kids close at 7pm

  • @ROTSSisalive I think it did back then

    Even though Fox Kids changed over to Jetix in 2005 but in 2009 it's now called Disney XD.

  • Hi,Stevie.Around 2000, 2001 due to TNT to TCM switch, the both CN and TNT/TCM Handovers changed. Do you think you can get them? As a clue, the TCM start-up was something like a sky with shiny stars creating different movie stars and CN start-up was something like the letters logo flipping from one to another and the 1st cartoon every mornin was a 5 min Atom Ant episode.

  • I'm sorry to say I've haven't got any TCM stuff at all, I didn't watch both channels much at that time.

  • @taza95 so wait, was this in the beginning of TNT when it wasn't able to carry a channel by itself?? The same thing occurred with BET having to share space with the USA network and A&E sharing space with Nickelodeon before Nick at Nite came along...

  • @GD29 Basically this was the case here, this was the UK/European version of Cartoon Network and TNT that was broadcast to most Satellite and cable subscribers, but as soon as Digital came along the CN/TNT split went totally out the window.

  • @steviegTVreturns i fucking HATE this digital transition! i clearly remember when they kept on reminding the US population with cable tv that the digital switch was going to be in february 09 and by that time, like EVERYBODY was like "fuck that" and didn't do anything so to be nice, the big guys extended the deadline to later that june and there were still a lot not cooperating....now, like 97 percent of basic cable is wiped out til you go to digital...its SO fucking stupid!

  • @GD29, Hello this is a CARTOON NETWORK video

  • @guy2008rules i'm aware of that but my digital issue still relates in that they took away cartoon network....

  • @steviegTVreturns Then what time did adult swim kick in, was that their own channel sharing space with CN or was it made by CN to fill in at night?

  • @vladthehawk09 This was from 1998 so Adult Swim wasn't about then, this is from the British version of CN, Adult Swim in the UK is shown on FX. When Cartoon Network UK was created in 1993 the channel shared with TNT Classic Movies (as you see here) but as Digital up-take has increased CN is on it's own channel 24 hours a day. Hope that clears things.

  • lool i remember this back in the 90's

  • i want more please from 99' or 2000 you have ?

  • This was a regular Friday night watch for me, waiting for WCW Nitro to start.

  • This clip makes me wish i'd taped more 90's CN footage.

  • same but for me more early 2000s

  • i loved the handover in ireland used to watch wcw nitro

  • As a kid I really hate TNT because it meant the end of CN for a day:)

  • yeah, same xD

  • And TNT is called TCM (Turner Classic Movies) and it's a 24h movies chanel to.

  • Wow I remember watching this like It was yesterday, Cartoon Network really has gone down hill.

  • 0:06

  • Subliminal message in the letter "C"

    666 reads

  • Im sorry yooobtube I dont see it.

  • What was that show on cartoon network...around 1995...was on early morning in the uk before school...all the characters were fruits..one was a strawberry and so on...does anyone know?

  • BRING BACK THE CLASSICS LETS complain HOO WILL JOIN ME!?

  • its called boomarag

  • Boomerang is not Cartoon Network... In France we have both of them...

  • yeah but it shows the old cartoonetwork shows and yeah we have them both in the us

  • 1:06 !!!

  • wow...

    this used to piss me off as a child.

    so much

  • Whoa, blast from the past!

  • I used to hate this time of day :(

    9pm, CN ended then it was bloody TNT/TCM.

    Never had that problem when we got sky:)

  • On Fridays I loved it when TNT came on as it was then time for WCW Monday Nitro(we got it 4 days later in UK), watched that for an hour then over to Raw on Sky Sports 3 usually.

  • @mononokehime316uk Now them were the days

  • i hated the part when cartoon network closed in 1998:(( i always spent all the day watching cartoon network... and then the boooooring TNT/TCM

  • I used to be so sad when Cartoon Network "went to sleep" LOL

  • It's different. Nickelodeon UK went to TV Asia. Later it went to The Paramount Channel/Paramount Comedy but Nickelodeon uk always have closed at 7pm until digital started in 1998.

  • lol blaxploitation!

  • The Disney Channel timeshared with Sky Movies Gold? I've seen weird things before, but that's just creepy.

  • Sky Movies Gold was broadcast on 2 channels for some reason, one for SMG on it's own and another after 10pm on Disney. But by the end of 1997, the Disney SMG share ended, SMG was replaced by Sky Box Office 1.

  • That's not correct. Sky Movies Gold timeshared with The Racing Channel and The Weather Channel UK. Later Sky Movies Gold moved to Sky Travel's transponder. The transponder with The Racing Channel and The Weather Channel later made way for Sky Box Office 2.

  • You are right, but what I'm saying is also right, why Sky decided to have SMG on 2 channels is a bit of a mystery, but when Sky Box Office (movies) launched, the practice was ditched.

  • Disney deffo timeshared with Sky Movies Gold at one point, I used to watch "Home Improvment" and remember it going to Sky Movies Gold ident shortly after.

  • Prior to December 1997 there were 2 versions of Sky Movies Gold on Astra/Sky, one as you on Disney Channel after 10pm and another on it's own channel, i think on Astra 1D. The one on Disney stopped when Sky Box Office started it's PPV movie service.

  • @tmisch64 Disney Channel used to timeshare with SMG back in 1995-1997.

    But now TDC closes down and doesn't handover to any channels now.

  • whats the name of that squrril with the purple hat again????

  • secret squirrel if i remeber right

  • Secret squirrel, durr!

  • Do you remember when Cartoon Network came on Sky Digital? Also was it free for a few time on there?

  • I'm not sure when it went on Sky Digital, but it wasn't when Sky Dig launched. It arrived on On Digital before Sky IIRC. Even if it was a couple of months. At one point CN were running regular ads for On Digital just before they closed down at 9pm. But as I've said it ended pretty quickly.

  • ....back when Cartoon Network was..Perfect.

  • With me having cartoon network when it closing down for the night it showed a programme slide for the addams family then shutdown this was before I had CN 24 hours

  • I remember this! Aaaaaaaaah! the 90s brings back sooooooo much!

  • I didn't know the handovers were manual! I often wondered why they were hardly ever on time, sometimes being up to 10 - 15 mins over!

  • damn: they are advertising cable- i bet cable and wireless got loads of kids calling them up at 9pm asking for them to put CN back on!

  • I'm sure this was a manual switch over, as they often missed que and after used to be a dog cartoon, I remember them going well over que (bounsy boxes) and a great episode was on about cartoon dogs "Thats my toilet seet, no thats my toilet seat" we used to be like PLEASEEEE CONTINUE WITH CARTOON NETWORK when the bouncy boxes was on and got very annoyed when TNT logo showed up!.

  • I remember this!!!!

    CN use to show all the CN characters going to bed at 9pm, then TNT would come on. I use to be like 'OMG i have to go to bed now!'

    I was so stupid xD

  • theres a closedown in 1998 and it got scooby-doo on it.

  • I remember that sometimes it pissed me off...

    but it wasnt all so bad we got to watch classic MGM movies which was also a good thing.

  • i missed out on so many channels being on analogue- i'd have to go round to my classmate's houses to watch TCC! a great channel TCC was...does anyone know the exact date it ended?

  • by cable they mean sky digtal

  • Nope, by Cable they actually meant by Cable. This was recorded several months before Sky Digital arrived, and even then CN took a few months to appear on Sky Digital. As said in the comments only a handful of Cable operators took the 24hr service.

  • I had cable, Cable North West they called themselves at the time(Virgin own them now). However as you said many didnt take the 24hr service. I was not too bothered though as it might have ment missing out on TNT and Monday Nitro.

  • i still remember this handover when i was living in Japan as a child, it used to piss me the fuck off!!!

  • Well I can remember this when i had NTL or Cable Tel as it was called back then it would have the colsedown but only for a few mins then the next programme for cartoon network because it used to be cn/tnt then i had cartoon network 24 hours

  • Oh my god...I remember this. Back in the day of channels going off the air, Nickelodeon ending at like..7pm...Good times.

    Comtel cable...my god, the nostalgia.

  • haha...i'm an american but I lived in the UK in the late 90s and remember this. It always pissed me off when TNT came on.

    It was bad enough when Nickelodeon went off at 7 and switched to Paramount.

    Good times.

  • Yeah. I HATED it when TNT came on after Cartoon Network and The Paramount Channel/Paramount Comedy came on after Nickelodeon. Also when Sky Movies Gold/Sky Box Office 3 came after the The Disney Channel/Disney Channel.

  • I loved it when TNT came on on Friday Nights as it was WCW Monday Nitro time(they showed it 4 days after USA). I watched it for an hour then turned to Raw on Sky then back and forth it was amazing times.

  • waht is the namn of this song? 1:07

  • I don't remember this. Was this in the UK version?

  • AFAIK Yes. I remember that handover clearly from when we received Cartoon Network/TNT over Astra.

  • Good old times, thanks so much for his post. Oh my God I miss this!!!! :(

  • Ahh, the good old handover. We here in Hungary get the Eastern-European CN which still shares with TCM. TCM: 21:00-03:00 CET...

  • I have seen the Hungarian version a couple of times, but I noticed CN is in Hungarian and TCM in English which strikes me as a bit odd.

  • Yeah, this is strange. Looks like they don't care about TCM AT ALL.

  • I was surprised to see TCM in English on Hungarian TV, I was surprised Subtitles aren't provided, even BBC Prime offered shows with Hungarian Subtitles!

  • That's why I say they don't care. Seriously, why can't they split these two already?

  • Is this on Analogue or Digital? In the UK on Analogue CN/TNT(TCM) always shared, but as soon as Digital arrived both stations were seperated into 24hour channels. Considering these were pan-european service I'd have expected it to be pretty much the same throughout the continent.

  • It's on analogue... so I guess it will never change.

  • They thought it better to launch country/region specific versions of CN/TNT on satellite and cable rather than a multilingual CN & TNT in digital form on satellite and cable that would have been available across Europe.

  • it takes me back. fantastic

  • I always hated when it changed to tcm

  • you're not the only one

  • Well i remember getting my parents to ask Videotron/Cable & Wireless if they get the 24hr feed and they said no. On the note of handing over on time, i remember most of the time it was usually a couple of minutes past 9 sometimes even like 5 minutes late. Cartoon Network sucks now, the logo and programming, all CRAP! And just to finish the comment off, you dont have any of the channel mosaic do you? I'm talking about the channel that had little preview boxes of what was on the cable channels.

  • We rarely/never got the mosiac on CWC when I saw it for the first time I was amazed, you got to see Sky Sports and Sky Movies about a 16th of its actual size, with no sound! If anything I always thought that the CN/TNT handovers were usually like 8.58/8.59 or so, but you are right, they were rarely 9.00pm on the dot.

  • omg memories i was literally addicted to cartoon network lol every day after school right up until night time

  • You dont have any of when TNT shut down for good do you?

  • Sadly not, I do remember staying up to watch the last one (that was when TNT became entertainment only after TCM launched) and it closed down as usual, without a whimper...

    I do have a closedown from that perdiod that I will upload due course, but not at the moment.

  • i remember this!

    i also remember a friend in Swansea had Cabletel and they took the 24hr version of Cartoon Network

  • was there a single cable provider who took the 24hr feed of Cartoon Network? As i know Cable & Wireless didnt, they had the shared feed.

  • I think Telewest took the digital satellite encrypted cable only 24h feed of CN and a cable operator in ireland did also take it but I don't know of nobody else who did.

  • NTL sure as hell didn't. I think I only ever saw one change-over like this, because when I ever stayed up late enough they were always running late.

  • i like this song 1:07

  • i remeber this

  • I remember that bouncing letter ident AND the ending of the lights off letters change to Z bit too.

    Yikes

  • MY MAMY TCM A ONI TNT

  • Do you have any other handovers? Such as Nick to Paramount or The Disney Channel to Sky Movies Gold?

  • Did you have Cable and Wireless or Nynex?

  • boy, this brings back memories... I was a kid, spending time @ my late grandmoms place watching cn, and I remember being sad cuz I could never watch cn after 10 pm...
