Dreams Forever Come True - DIsney Channels UK End Transmission After 25 Years

 We are so saddened to announce that after 25 years on the air, the UK and Ireland localizations of Disney Channel, Playhouse Disney, Toon Disney, Disney Channel +1, Disney Cinemagic, Disney XD and Disney Junior have ended their run.

Since Halloween 1995, Disney Channel has been bringing a new Kind of Magic to a generation of viewers in the UK. From its quirky funny idents & graphics to some of its most memorable programs, the channels have shown no signs of slowing down since their original British inception.

The channels have officialy shut down for two reasons. One being the rejection of a content deal with Sky and Virgin Media who are the providers responsible for broadcasting the iconic networks in the first place. On the other hand, they shut down because of the massive popularity that the Disney+ SVOD has had recently.

We want to thank all of our British mouseketeers and fans out there who have been watching the UK Disney Channels over the past 25 years. Without your support and believing in your dreams, Disney would have never been able to expand its creations and television networks to an audience across the globe.

Rest In Peace Disney Channels Uk and thank you for your magic.
