Still Disney channel is considered to be the father of twenty-four hour cartoon channel since Nickelodeon never televised cartoon shows around the clock. From the very start they primarily focused upon small kids and pre-teens. In 1991 Nickelodeon started Nicktoons(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicktoons) which is a set of animated cartoons televised on the channel. In 2002 it was converted into a round the clock cartoon channel namely Nicktoons TV. Animax Animax is a day-and-night animation channel established by Sony Corporation in 1998.
