MeTV Toons has reached another distribution milestone, as the Weigel Broadcasting Co. network is confirmed to be joining DirecTV‘s channel lineup next week.
MeTV Toons is due to go live on DirecTV on June 30th, and will be available to watch on channel 295 in the live guide.
Although set to become available to both DirecTV streaming and satellite customers, it looks like MeTV Toons will require a subscription to Choice at a minimum.
This will mean Entertainment subscribers won’t have access to the network with their standard package and will need to consider paying more each month to access the network.
The arrival on DirecTV comes almost exactly one year after the launch of MeTV Toons. At that time, the network was only available to those signed up to Frndly TV and Philo, greatly limiting its reach.
With DirecTV also now set to become an option, the network will be available to even more homes.
Considering MeTV Toons is the home of a variety of popular cartoon characters and shows, including Bugs Bunny and Friends, The Flintstones, Inspector Gadget, The Jetsons, Popeye and Pals, Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!, The Smurfs, Thunderbirds, and The Tom and Jerry Show, the network’s arrival will be especially good news for DirecTV customers who are classic cartoon fans.
