The majority of the classic animation that was shown on Cartoon Network no longer airs on a regular basis, with the exception of Tom and Jerry, Looney Tunes, The Flintstones, and The Jetsons as of January 12, 2012. Late Night Black and White showed early black-and-white cartoons (mostly from the Fleischer Studios and Walter Lantz cartoons from 1930s), and ToonHeads, which would show three shorts with a similar theme and provide trivia about the cartoons. Most of the short cartoons were aired in half-hour or hour-long packages, usually separated by character or studio Down Wit Droopy D aired old Droopy Dog shorts, The Tom and Jerry Show presented the classic cat-and-mouse team, and Bugs and Daffy Tonight provided classic Looney Tunes shorts. The concept was previously thought unlikely to attract a sufficient audience to be particularly profitable, however the CNN experiment had been successful and Turner could hope that the Network could also find success.
Turner Broadcasting System had defied conventional wisdom before by launching CNN, a channel providing 24-hours news coverage. Prime time and late night television hours were reserved for live-action programs, following the assumption that television animation could only attract child audiences, while Cartoon Network was a 24-hour single-genre channel with animation as its main theme. The Disney Channel and the Family Channel had also included animated shows in their programming. On August 11, 1991, Nickelodeon had launched three high-profile animated series: Doug, The Ren Stimpy Show, and Rugrats, further signifying the importance of cartoons in its programming. In 1991, it purchased animation studio Hanna-Barbera Productions and acquired its large library as well as most of the Ruby-Spears library.
In 1988, its cable channel Turner Network Television was launched and had gained an audience with its film library. In 2009, it started airing live-action programming, including movies from Warner Bros.
