Cartoon Network (often abbreviated as CN) is an American cable television channel owned by The Cartoon Network, Inc., a division of the Kids, Young Adults and Classics division of Warner Bros. Entertainment, itself a subsidiary of AT&T's WarnerMedia through its Studios and Networks Group division.
Founded by Ted Turner (who appointed Betty Cohen as the first president of the network), the channel was launched on October 1, 1992, and primarily broadcasts animated television series, mostly children's programming, ranging from action to animated comedy. It currently operates from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. ET/PT on weekdays and from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. ET/PT on weekends. Cartoon Network primarily targets children 7–14, while its early morning Cartoonito block is aimed at preschoolers aged 2–6, and its overnight daypart block Adult Swim targets older teenagers and young adults, 18–34 (the latter is treated as a separate entity for promotional purposes and as a separate channel by Nielsen for ratings purposes).
As of March 2021, Cartoon Network is available to approximately 94 million paid television households in the United States. (Full article...)

Dexter's Laboratory is an American comic science fiction animated television series created by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network. The series follows a boy-genius named Dexter who has a secret laboratory filled with an endless collection of his inventions. He constantly battles his annoying sister Dee Dee, who always gains access to his lab despite his efforts to keep her out, as well as his arch-rival and neighbor, Mandark. Three shorts were created and broadcast on Cartoon Network in 1995 and 1996 until viewer approval ratings convinced the network to order a 13-episode first season, which premiered on April 28, 1996. In 2001, the network revived the series under a different production team at Cartoon Network Studios since Season 1, and after 26 more episodes, the series finally ended on November 20, 2003. Dexter's Laboratory became one of Cartoon Network's most popular and successful original series, and it led to a change in direction for the station centering on more original animated programming.
