Kartoon Studios said on October 28, 2026, that total hours watched on its subscription video-on-demand platforms more than doubled year over year through the first three quarters of 2026. The update covers Kartoon Channel! and Ameba and points to sustained audience engagement ahead of the company’s key Halloween and holiday viewing period.

The announcement was carried by AP News as paid content from Access Newswire. Kartoon Studios said the increase followed an acceleration that began in the fourth quarter of 2025 and continued across the first three quarters of 2026.

Seasonal programming raises expectations

Kartoon Channel! enters the fourth quarter with expanded Halloween and holiday programming. Management said the seasonal lineup could provide additional opportunities to deepen subscriber engagement, while audience consumption data is being used to guide programming and content acquisition.

The company is also expanding an owned distribution model across subscription video-on-demand, advertising-supported video-on-demand, free ad-supported television and other digital platforms. That approach gives Kartoon Studios several routes to distribute and monetize children’s and family content, but the company’s fourth-quarter outlook remains dependent on viewer retention, content performance and monetization.

Kartoon Studios said the platforms’ growth was not limited to a single quarter. Investors will likely focus next on whether the stronger viewing trend converts into higher subscriber engagement and commercial results during the seasonal peak.

Kartoon Studios operates in children’s and family entertainment, developing, producing, distributing, licensing and monetizing intellectual property across more than 60 territories. Its activities include Toon Media Networks, Mainframe Studios and a portfolio that includes Hundred Acre Wood and the Stan Lee Universe. The company is headquartered in Beverly Hills, California, and trades on NYSE American under the symbol TOON.
