Spacetoon (Arabic: سبيستون‎ or سبيس تون) is a pan-Arab free-to-air television channel that specialises in animation and children programs. It began broadcasting on 27 March 2000 with headquarters in Damascus and Dubai.

 

The Spacetoon company has had three now-defunct channels in the Arab world besides the main still existing Spacetoon channel: Space Power TV, Spacetoon Radio and Spacetoon English and a video on demand app called Spacetoon Go.

 

The main Indonesian channel began airing on 23 March 2005 in Jakarta, it later became NET. and its broadcast remains on satellite television. Currently there are three Spacetoon channels in Indonesia, Spacetoon, Space Shopping and Spacetoon Plus. In India, Spacetoon India exists as licensing company, but not as a separate TV channel. In South Korea, Spacetoon launched in 2005 but has since closed down.

 

Spacetoon is closely affiliated with Syria-based dubbing company Venus Centre. Spacetoon is broadcast in 22 countries, and has an audience of over 130 million viewers.
