The Boomerang TV channel will be well-known to most Americans who have been watching a wide range of animated shows on there since the year 2000. Now it is being turned into a premium streaming service set to offer classic and exclusive original programming.

Streaming services such as Netflix and Amazon Video try to offer content for all age groups. But Warner Bros. and Turner are collaborating to present Boomerang as a streaming service that only offers cartoons, meaning you can sit your kids down watching it and know that's all they are going to see.

Boomerang is set to launch "in the Spring" and will cost $4.99 per month or $39.99 per year. Monthly sign-ups will get a 7-day free trial, or sign up for the year and get 30-day trial access.

There will be no adverts on the service, and in return for your cash you'll gain access to over 5,000 titles taken from the Hanna-Barbera, Looney Tunes and MGM animation library. The service will also provide "exclusive access to both brand-new original series and timeless franchises."

Those franchises include Scooby Doo, Tom & Jerry, Looney Tunes, Bugs Bunny, The Jetsons, and The Flintstones. Wacky Races is also being overhauled and will be offered through the streaming service.

As well as focusing exclusively on kid-friendly content, Boomerang will offer family profiles, recommendations, and the ability to download content to watch away from home. A Spanish audio option will also be available as well as interactive features, suggesting Boomerang will be backed up by a web presence.

At launch, Boomerang will be available to stream on the Web and using an app on iOS or Android devices. Amazon, Roku, and Apple TV will be added after launch. Support for other streaming devices and services are also being considered.
