Toon-A-Vision is a Canadian English language discretionary service television channel owned by Atlantic Digital Networks that launched on June 19, 2018. The channel broadcasts animated programming aimed at preschoolers and teenagers. Its name is a portmanteau of "cartoon" and "television".

History

Atlantic Digital Networks received Category B-exemption from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) for a television service called "Atlantic Cartoon" in 2014. The channel, now known as Toon-A-Vision, launched on Eastlink cable systems throughout Canada in high definition on June 19, 2018. It was developed in conjunction with Huminah Huminah Animation. On July 15, 2019, Atlantic Digital Networks requested the CRTC transfer the channel to a full license after surpassing the commission's subscriber threshold. Its license was approved on September 1, 2020.

The channel was added to Bell Satellite TV and Bell Fibe on December 5, 2019. Cogeco launched the channel on its platforms on April 22, 2020. The channel is expected to be launched on Shaw Direct in 2022.
