The Polish version launched on September 1, 1998, with Hungarian and Romanian soundtracks added to that same feed on 30 September 2002. Cartoon Network initially shared time with TCM, with Cartoon Network airing 14 hours (6:00 - 20:00 CET) and TCM is airing the other 6 hours (20:00 - 2:00 CET). In rest of the time (2:00 - 6:00) the British version is airing. From October 2001, the Polish version airs to 21:00 CET, and the British version airs shorter: from 3:00 to 6:00. On 2 March 2004 the British version on the Polish one has ended broadcasting; the Polish version now airs from 3:00 to 21:00. All advertising was shown in Polish, regardless of region.
Since 1 March 2007 Cartoon Network and TCM are now airing 24 hours a day on two different channels.
In January 2008 a Romanian version, with a Romanian soundtrack and advertising, debuted.
On 1 October 2009 the Hungarian and Polish versions were separated, with each country having their own feeds.
A feed for the Czech Republic and Slovakia is planned to launch in late 2013.
Cartoon Network is available on cable, IPTV and satellite, and is also available over Mobile Phone Television on Slovenia's Mobitel network.
