Boing is an African television channel operated by Warner Bros. Discovery through its International unit, which launched on May 30, 2015.[1] A localization of the eponymous Italian television service, the channel airs programming primarily from sister channels Cartoon Network and Boomerang, as well as those from other producers.

At this moment, the channel can be seen on Montage Cable TV in Nigeria and Sentech's Mobile TV in South Africa. On January 1, 2017, the channel became available to AzamTV subscribers.[2] The channel does not have a website. The former French feed of Boing was also broadcast in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Maghreb.[3] On 2 February 2023, it was announced that Boing France would be replaced by Cartoonito on 3 April 2023.

On 3 November 2023, StarSat/StarTimes launched Boing Africa on Sub-Saharan Africa.[4]
