Adult Swim Programming Heads to Canada

TORONTO, June 19: As part of its fall schedule this year,
Canada’s Teletoon has picked up six series from Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim block for its late-night, 18-to-34-targeted
programming lineup.

"By acquiring the original Adult Swim titles, Teletoon is fulfilling its promise of
offering different, smart and fearless entertainment for our 18-34 fans,"
said Carole Bonneau, the channel’s VP. "Those who don't have a bedtime
clearly choose The Detour on
Teletoon as their vehicle for satire, irony, deadpan humor, and pop culture
references. The current success of our post 9 p.m. block is a critical
stepping-stone towards building a stronger and distinct destination for more
mature viewers, setting itself apart from our kids and family fare. The
addition of the new Adult Swim
acquisitions to our fall line-up can only serve to better anchor this
destination."

Teletoon has acquired six Adult Swim titles: Robot Chicken, Tom Goes to the Mayor, Space Ghost Coast to Coast, 12oz Mouse, Squidbilles and Storker
Hoop.

It also picked up new episodes of Harvey Birdman,
Attorney At Law; Aqua Teen Hunger
Force and Venture Bros.
