RIP Wand Idents - Bob Chapnek Confirms 100+ Disney Channels To Cease Operation by December 2021 Due To Disney+ Increase Popularity

 "Hi I'm (name of star) from (name of project0 and you're watchinng Disney Channel"
SVOD subscribers: How about NO?

Well unfortunately, the time has come for the Mouse House to shut down their cable unit. Disney's newest CEO and president man in charge Bob Chapnek has confirmed that over 100+ Disney Channel stations worldwide, including the main channel, Disney Junior, Playhouse Disney, Toon Disney and Disney XD and their HD and +1 counterparts will be shutting down by the end of this year.

It's currently unknown whether or not the USA and Canada versions will stay up or get shut down. Most of these closures would make much sense since many people aren't using cable TV anymore for new content and instead switching over to streaming video on demand channels and services free of commercial breaks.

All we know is that local versions of the mentioned channels are getting shut down worldwide to make room for more high-rating streaming subscriptions

RIP Disney Channel
1983-2021?

Please note that the list of channels shutting down has yet to be confirmed and this post will get updated when they're announced.
