Spacetoon (Arabic: سبيستون or سبيس تون) is a pan-Arabic children's channel founded on 15 March 2000 in Damascus, and it is currently headquartered in Dubai. The channel targets children from 4 and up. Its late night block Space Power is targeted at teenagers and young adults. The Spacetoon company also maintains a video-on-demand app called Spacetoon Go. It is informally referred to as Stoon.
The Spacetoon company has had two now-defunct channels in the Arab world, Space Power TV and Spacetoon English.
The main Indonesian channel began airing on 24 March 2005 in Jakarta. It later became NET., and its broadcast remains on satellite television. Currently, there are two Spacetoon channels in Indonesia: Spacetoon and Spacetoon Plus. In India, Spacetoon India exists as licensing company, but not as a separate TV channel. In South Korea, Spacetoon launched in 2005 but has since closed down. In Turkey, Spacetoon Turkey launched Spacetoon Go app on 12 December 2024, and its TV channel on 13 January 2025.
Spacetoon is currently broadcast in 22 countries, and has an audience of over 130 million viewers.
Involvement with Mr. Men[]
It currently airs the other Arabic dub of The Mr. Men Show, done by Venus Centre in Syria.
When it first aired on Spacetoon in 2015, it aired the UK version with Arabic subtitles until 2020 when it was dubbed in Arabic.
Trivia[]
- Like Jeem TV's airings, scenes that show Mr. Rude farting are cut out due to farting being taboo and too inappropriate for Spacetoon to show.
