Teletoon at Night (formerly known as Teletoon Detour) is the name for the animated programming block targeted towards older teen and adult audiences which airs from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. ET/PT every night on the Canadian television channel Teletoon. It was launched in September 2002 as "The Detour on Teletoon" until September 1, 2008 when it was renamed "Teletoon Detour". The block was renamed once again in September 2009 to "Teletoon at Night".

The block's French programming block counterpart called "Télétoon la nuit" airs on Teletoon's French-language channel Télétoon.^[1] The block is similar in format to Adult Swim, an adult-oriented nighttime program block on Cartoon Network in the United States, with Teletoon at Night airing much of the same programming that is featured on Adult Swim.

History [link]

Teletoon At Night formerly was an amalgamation of the old "The Detour" block, aimed at teenagers, and the former Teletoon Unleashed block, aimed at adults, which had been dropped due to lack of new content. For the start of the 2006–2007 season, a new Friday night companion block "F-Night" debuted, featuring a slightly different lineup consisting of more of the Adult Swim comedies such as Tom Goes to the Mayor and Squidbillies.

In 2007–2010, most of the shows that were involved with the "F-Night" block was removed to make room for the "Fred At Night" segment, which now takes up Sunday at 10:00 p.m. ET. A repeat of the same movie usually follow up. The movies in this block involved in this line-up were mostly animated or were derived from comic books and other animated series. A majority of the films were designed to target an older teenage or adult audience, which was the intended target and purpose of the Detour. If the movie didn't fill in its 2 - 2¹⁄₂ hour block, then either the animated shorts on their line-ups or short films from the Animatrix were used to fill up the space. Some movies on The Detour block are live action based on comics or animation, for example the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World trilogy. This was not Teletoon's first time to air non-animated shows or movies, since Teletoon aired the live-action Fireball XL-5 back in the 1997–1998 season.

In fall 2010, Teletoon At Night's weekend schedule was known as Fred At Night, as it was hosted by Fearless Fred of Toronto's CFNY-FM. As of December 31, 2010, Teletoon At Night's weekend schedule became known as Double Night.
