• Our Vision: To be the first choice in quality animated entertainment for everyone, everywhere.
• Our Brand: TELETOON is an amazing world of exaggeration that lets you get away with anything. It’s a place where cartoons have come of age. Where the unexpected happens all the time. It’s a place to laugh out loud and be challenged. It pushes boundaries and shuts out the everyday world.
• We’re French and English: We offer our French language signal everywhere in Canada in Eastern Time, plus two English language feeds - one in Eastern time and one in Pacific.
• We’re over 10 years old!: Canadians tuned in first to the new specialty English language service on October 17, 1997, while the French language service was already available since September 8, 1997. And they have kept watching!
• We’re Canadian: TELETOON is proud of its role as the largest supporter of the Canadian animation industry. We invest 47% of our gross revenue to the acquisition or development of animated series from Canadian producers while maintaining Canadian content in 60% of both our English and French network schedule.
