Investigation Brief
The legacy Cartoon Network domain now permanently redirects visitors to a Max channel page where they can sign up for a subscription to stream Cartoon Network shows. The redirect is operated by Warner Bros. Discovery and presents no deceptive or malicious behavior.
Redirect and ownership evidence
The domain cartoonnetwork.com performs a permanent redirect to https://www.hbomax.com/channel/cartoon-network, a page that displays Cartoon Network programming and a prominent "Sign Up Now" button.
The domain is 11,184 days old and hosted on infrastructure with a 0/100 abuse score, consistent with long-standing legitimate ownership by Warner Bros. Discovery.
Subscription sign-up flow
On the Max landing page, visitors see standard subscription prompts including "Sign Up" and "Sign Up Now" buttons that lead to the official auth.hbomax.com authentication flow.
The page also displays legal notices referencing HBO Max Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, confirming the commercial intent is a standard streaming subscription rather than any deceptive mechanism.
Why the score is 92
The page automatically sent the browser to an unrelated external site. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Web research findings

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
