There isn't one because of a couple of reasons:

1. The channel doesn't broadcast to any part of the European Economic Area (EEA)/European Convention on Transfrontier Television (ECTT) area.

2. In a weird sort of way, in Sub-Saharan Africa, the platform operators are responsible (acting as the responsible gatekeeper) and not the broadcaster, which is why DStv was under pressure during the Steven Universe and Adventure Time LGBT incident, and not Cartoon Network Africa itself. On the most part, Multichoice (Canal+) is legally responsible in South Africa, but obviously Cartoon Network would need to "fix" the issue so they continue doing business with Multichoice, so the regulator can get off Multichoice's back.

The fact . This channel used to be called PAN-EURO feed of this channel . Wish was formerly used to broadcast in Middle east . Cyprus and Greece as well

This is why Cartoon Network and Cartoonito MENA are licenced, and not the African feeds. When CN EMEA (now just Africa) covered the rest of EMEA, it had a licence, MENA took up the licence.

Hungarian edition.


TBH, every time the show starts, I have to mute the TV because the prelude scene (before Finn and Jake hit their hands) was ruined in terms of sound. They couldn't make something similar to the original.

here's the Czech version:

Yeah . In 2016 that time everything changed from this region since the channel launched

It is strange that "Adventure Time: Side Quests" intro is undubbed from the original English version in the European Spanish and Turkish dubs. Despite Spain fully dubbed the original Adventure Time intro. And also, why "Adventure Time: Side Quests" intro's instrumental and vocals are high, unlike the original?

And where does CN have its office? Johannesburg where all media is?

I remember Cartoon Network Games shot on location in Cape Town, and for years I though all media was based there. But then again I discovered a JHB-centric media ecosystem later

PAL I guess.
Europe if I am not wrong have most of it in PAL

CN Africa's main office is in Issy-les-Moulineaux in Paris, CNN has a place on Owl Street, Johannesburg though. It seems that they partner with local companies on their behalf when doing filming or promotional events, including Multichoice.

So that means the CN africa's main was used by the french team for promos and UK for also new ones as well


Anyways in the latino one . The intro was transferred into the original AT instead of new one . And the intro was suprisley localized as well

Since 2015 when the shakeups took place

The intro of Side Quests is higher in pitch because this is how the crew produced this new theme song from the scratch. There is no PAL audio alteration whatsoever. You should know better that the CN originals are no longer pitch-altered (only the fps speed is) starting from late-2015.

Either way, about the Romanian dub of the intro, I see that they used a season 1 voice clip of Finn's "Mathematical!" in the YouTube upload, or at least that's what I think so, as the English version (from CN UK) has that shouting in the new voice of Sasha Knight. Now I really doubt that Fast Production Film would go really that far to recast Claudia Susanu, which hasn't dubbed for animated shows since a century, plus considering they never brought back old VAs for the other spin-off series. So Idk if they really used a S1 audio bit in the video upload from Romania or this is how Finn's voice will now sound like (again), bur again, it's too far-fetched for the current status quo.

Does anyone know a guy or website with weekly CN WE schedule charts, I’ve started watching it and I want to find schedules in English/French

This also occurs in the Brazilian Portuguese dub, but, in Latin American Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese dubs, as well as the Arabic dub, Finn didn't say, "Mathematical!"

Cartoon Network UK, Boomerang UK, and Cartoonito UK July 2026 Highlights:

 

[zakawer2]

What's keeping Cartoon Network UK from having reruns of Steven Universe and Uncle Grandpa on its schedule, or even Cartoon Network classics? These are all readily available on HBO Max in the UK, and with ready-to-use prints that are more than fully sufficient for Cartoon Network airings in the UK.
