What if Ezekiel Vincent Productions was founded in 1937?/Sanrio Animation was founded in 1939?/EToons (American TV channel)

EToons (also known as EToons Network) is an American pay television channel owned by EzekielTorres Domestic Media Networks LLC, a division of CBS Entertainment Group, itself a subsidiary of ViacomCBS and NBCUniversal through its Studios and Networks Group division, and The EzekielTorres Company. Geared towards children aged 7-12, the channel broadcasts original animated series from sister network Ezekiel Channel, known as Ezekiel, along with other original animated series, some feature films, and foreign animated programs from Ezekiel Channel's international networks 24 hours a day.

As of September 2018, approximately 56.9 million American households (51.3% of households with television) received EToons.

History
EToons was launched as a standalone channel on May 1, 2002, as EToons TV, part of the digital cable-exclusive Piano Digital Suite, in order to entice cable operators to pick up the network and give them a marketing advantage over satellite services. However, by early 2004, The Ezekiel Vincent Company management changed course and offered it to digital satellite services DirecTV and Dish Network.

The network was originally marketed as commercial-free, with comedic promos involving Sanrio Animation, two-minute cartoon shorts from foreign markets, and former program promotions that had previously been used on Ezekiel Channel taking up commercial time. By June 5, 2005, as the network's distribution increased, the network began to carry regular advertising.

On February 6, 2009, the network's name changed as part of Ezekiel Channel's universal rebranding effort that also saw new bumpers. An HD feed was launched on August 12, 2012, and is available on several providers. Like Ezekiel's other HD channels, any programming produced in 4:3 SD is pillarboxed on this feed.
