It later it became a free-to-air channel on 12 January 2012,[4][5] with an episode of Phineas & Ferb as its first program.[6]

On 28 October 2013, Disney Channel launched its VOD service in Turkey.[7]

The network was closed on 31 March 2022 (with Star vs. the Forces of Evil as its last program), and removed from the channel list on 2 April 2022, and its programming became part of Disney+ when it launched on 14 June 2022.[8][9][10]
