Cartoon Network is a cable network owned by Time Warner that carries the Pokémon anime meta series. They started with Pokémon: Battle Frontier on September 8th, 2006. They picked up the series after corporate sibling Kids' WB! dropped the series in its efforts to focus more on series produced in-house.
Previously, they had aired reruns of episodes from Pokémon's earlier seasons. As of July 2008, almost every series has aired on Cartoon Network. They've also started airing Advanced Generation episodes (currently Pokémon Advanced) from 7-8 AM EST. On September 29, 2008, they began to re-air Pokémon: Battle Frontier from 1-2 PM EST.
Cartoon Network also aired all of the Pokémon Chronicles episodes during the summer of 2006. Currently, the series does not air on the network.
New dubbed episodes of Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles can be seen on Saturday mornings at 7:00 AM ET/PT (6:00 AM CT).
During the Diamond and Pearl season, they often played the previous week's new episode at 9:00 AM ET/PT (8:00 AM CT). However, at the start of Pokémon DP Battle Dimension, Blue Dragon took the 9:00 timeslot. Blue Dragon hasn't aired since Team Shocker!, however, The Secret Saturdays has now taken the 9:00 time slot, stopping the previous episode from airing. Starting with Cream of the Croagunk Crop!, the show will air only at 9:00 am, with Star Wars: The Clone Wars taking the 9:30 am time slot.
