History
Tooncast was launched on 15th April, 2013 at 12:01a.m. The channel replaced Boomerang as the channel for classic cartoons and children's programming.

Since its launch, Tooncast has broadcast for 24 hours a day.

Preschool programming
On 26th June, 2017, Tooncast introduced a programming block titled Tooncast Lunar. Running from 9:00p.m. to 5:00a.m. every night, it broadcast a selection of classic preschool programmes. Another preschool-orientated block titled Kiddioka was launched on 28th February, 2018, which aired everyday from 9:00a.m. to 3:00p.m. Tooncast had began to introduce preschool into its schedule in August 2016, but this was the first time it was aired under its own branding.

Kiddioka was eventually spun off into its own channel on 18th June, 2018, and its block on Tooncast was ultimately discontinued. Since then, Kiddioka has focused more on preschool programmes from the late 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, whilst Tooncast Lunar has began to focus more pn preschool programming from the 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s.
