Adult Swim (stylized as
[adult swim] or
[as]) is an American
cable network that shares channel space with
Cartoon Network, both of which are owned by
Turner Broadcasting System, a division of
Time Warner, Inc., every night from 8:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
Eastern and
Pacific Time in the United States. The network is programmed by
Williams Street Studios, a division of Turner Broadcasting System, which also developed two prior television programming blocks seen on Cartoon Network:
Toonami (which later became a block on Adult Swim in 2012) and
Miguzi. The name comes from a phrase used by public swimming pools to label designated times when children are restricted from using the facilities in favor of adults: "Adult Swim".
