Cartoon Network was the first dedicated children's television channel in India, which was launched on 1 May 1995, as a dual-channel with Cartoon Network operating from 5:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (later 9:00 p.m.) and Turner Classic Movies (formerly TNT) taking up the remainder of the daily schedule. On 1 July 2001, Cartoon Network India commenced daily full-day broadcasts.{{cite web|url=http://www.indiantelevision.com/headlines/y2k1/mar/mar23.htm|title=Cartoon Network to go 24 hours from 1 July|date=20 March 2001|access-date=10 August 2017|archive-date=11 August 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190811221738/http://www.indiantelevision.com/headlines/y2k1/mar/mar23.htm|url-status=live}}

In early 2004, a separate feed of the channel dedicated to Pakistani and Bangladeshi viewers was launched.{{cite news |title=Cartoon Network launches operation in Pakistan |url=https://www.brecorder.com/news/3108304 |access-date=15 December 2023 |work=Business Recorder |date=8 December 2004 |archive-date=15 December 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231215091928/https://www.brecorder.com/news/3108304 |url-status=live }}

Cartoon Network India initially only aired Hanna-Barbera cartoons such as The Yogi Bear Show, Top Cat, The Flintstones, and Scooby-Doo. The channel quickly started to develop, with them airing MGM cartoons such as Tom and Jerry, Droopy, and Spike and Tyke for the first time in 1996, and after Time Warner's purchase of Turner in 1996, Warner Bros. produced cartoons such as Looney Tunes in 1997. In 1998, Cartoon Network India began airing Cartoon Network originals, such as Space Ghost Coast to Coast and The Moxy Show.{{citation needed|date=January 2015}} In its early years, the channel broadcast only in English. At the time, the Indian market was able to understand English without creating language barriers, as the "link language in the subcontinent". Turner's initial strategy for India was all in English, devoid of subtitles and dubbing in national and regional languages, and catered the English-speaking niche, unlike its competitor Star TV. Bob Ross, president of Turner International at the time, was aiming a certain percentage of the English-fluent market, using its vast library assets. After capturing such percentage, there were possible plans to localise the signal to Tamil and Hindi.Bazaar Television, Satellite Wars, Brook Associates for Channel 4, 1995

On 4 January 1999, the channel started to offer Hindi-dubbed versions of its shows, such as Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Speed Racer, SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron, The Mask: Animated Series, The Addams Family, The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest, Captain Planet, Tom & Jerry Kids and certain other select programs. Initially they air as daily two hours blocks (3 to 5pm on weekdays and 2 to 4pm on weekends). Anshuman Mishra, head of the channel, believed that the step had to be taken in October 1998 in order to reduce the influence of violent cartoons.{{cite web|url=https://www.tribuneindia.com/1998/98oct04/nation.htm#5|title=tribuneindia...

On 23 August 1999, the channel received a rebrand, introducing new bumpers, new shows and a new "powerhouse" theme.

The channel broadcasts in India as well as several neighbouring countries.

The channel used to broadcast in Pakistan till 2004 when the authorities issued an order regarding the ban of several channels because they were airing programmes in Hindi as they were dubbed in India.{{Cite web |last=PTI |title=Ban on Hindu mythological cartoons in parts of Pakistan |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/business/ban-on-hindu-mythological-cartoons-in-parts-of-pakistan-92116.html |access-date=2024-02-19 |website=Deccan Herald |archive-date=19 February 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240219124716/https://www.deccanherald.com/business/ban-on-hindu-mythological-cartoons-in-parts-of-pakistan-92116.html |url-status=live }} A separate feed of the channel dedicated to Pakistani and Bangladeshi viewers was launched in 2004.
