Since 2004, the UK version of Boomerang has had a separate on screen identity and logo from the US version (prior to this, the channel had carried US branding and logos). The UK version also has custom made onscreen idents. For example these show children doing various activities such as shopping, playing games etc. Boomerang along with Cartoon Network and Toonami used to have a Top Up TV channel on LCNs 72-74, although Boomerang only broadcast between 05:00 and 12:00. When you tried to tune in to the channel via Freeview it came up with an advert for Top Up TV.
