Disney Channel is the Dutch version of the same name owned by the Walt Disney Company. The channel is broadcasting free-to-cable, and all content is dubbed in Dutch. The channel features a mix of original sitcoms, teen drama series, animation movies and original movies (presented as DCOMs). English audio is also available on the operators Ziggo, Canal Digitaal, TV Vlaanderen, Caiway, Proximus and Telenet. There are two different versions with local advertisements. While currently not using a slogan, the tagline 'Dat moet je meemaken!' (English: 'You have got to experience this!') has been used in the past.

Since 2012, a dedicated version is proposed for Belgium (except on satellite).

## History

The channel first launched on UPC Netherlands on 3 October 2009.[1] On 30 October 2009 it launched in Flanders on Telenet and Belgacom.[2] On 22 June 2010 it was added to analogue. In September 2011 the Playhouse Disney block became Disney Junior. On 1 September 2011 it launched on Ziggo.[3] The channel was scheduled for a release on Caiway in October 2011, but that has been cancelled.[4]

In early 2012 hours were expanded and a new logo was adopted. On 16 August 2012 it launched on CanalDigitaal and TV Vlaanderen at Astra 23.5 East.[5] In July 2013 subtitled programs were moved to late night.[6] In October 2013 subtitled programs were moved to the weekend nights.[7] On 1 April 2014, Disney Channel started transmitting with dual audio channels (Dutch and Original). There are standard no Dutch subtitles, however in most cases subtitles can be activated with text page 888.[8]

Disney Channel, 24 hours version of Disney XD and Disney Junior became available on KPN Interactive TV and on KPN's subsidiary Telfort on 2 April 2014.
