Boomerang Streamer, Website Final Day Brings New Max Hub Set-Up

With today marking the final official day for the streamer and website, Warner Bros. Discovery has set up a Boomerang hub over on Max.

The word came down early last month that the Boomerang streaming service and website would be shuttered on September 30th – another example of animation paying the prices as studios and streamers continue to lick their self-inflicted financial wounds that resulted from losing a streaming "war" that left Netflix the victor and everyone else looking to merge, consolidate, cut, and bundle anything and everything they could – especially Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). Beginning tomorrow, current subscribers will be moved over to an ad-free Max plan at no additional cost (with existing login info able to be used with the Max account) – and if you head on over to WBD's streamer right now, you'll see that a Boomerang hub has already been set up. After doing a quick spot-checking, it seems like it has a lot of "Scooby-Doo" and "Tom & Jerry" programming ready to go, as well as some other shows.

WBD offered answers to some main questions over on the "Help" site when the news was first announced at the beginning of August (and it's still up) – though in terms of content also making the move, the communication that went out to subscribers noted that "some Boomerang content may not be available." Here's a look at the text of the email addressing the change:

Hey folks,

We're reaching out to let you know that Boomerang will be moving to Max, and as of September 30th, the Boomerang app and website will no longer be available. The exciting news is that your Boomerang subscription will automatically transfer to Max (Ad-Free) with no change to your subscription price until further notice!

Here's what you need to know:

Logging In: Starting September 30th, you can log in to Max using your Boomerang email and password.

Kids Profile: We'll have a Kids Profile set up in your account, allowing you to set parental controls and ratings restrictions.

Max Content: On Max, enjoy loads of Boomerang fan-favorites with Scooby, Bugs Bunny, Tom & Jerry and more! While some Boomerang content may not be available, you'll have access to Max's full catalog of iconic series, hit movies, fresh originals, breaking news, and family favorites, including "The Amazing World of Gumball," "Teen Titans Go!," "Lego Batman," and more.

Billing: Throughout September, Apple will be transitioning your billing from Boomerang to Max.
