The United States channel

The United States version of Boomerang carries a weekly looping programming format. Notably, Boomerang does not carry product commercials. The only advertising on the channel is for Boomerang or Cartoon Network programming.

Program days begin at 8 AM Eastern time (5 AM Pacific time). Monday through Thursdays are normal programming days, with a variety of half-hour and hour-long cartoon programs shown. Fridays, 'monthly feature' cartoons are shown for the entire day; one cartoon is featured for each Friday of a given month for 24 hours straight. On Saturdays, a calendar year is featured with the cartoons of that year (ranging from approximately 1963 to 1983, one year per week in sequence). Sundays carries the "Boomeraction" theme, with animation featuring action and adventure.
