Disney Cinemagic is joining the CanalSat line up in France this September. The channel will be accompanied by a +1 hour time shifted version. It’s ten years since Disney Channel first launched in France on the former Canal Satellite Numerique platform. Disney Channel (and its +1 version), Toon Disney and Disney Playhouse are all available in the French market.
Cinemagic screens a number of classic Disney movies together with titles from the more recent Disney Pixar library. These include Finding Nemo, Toy Story and The Aristocats.
CanalSat and Disney also have plans to launch a subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) service in the French market that will feature the best of Disney’s children’s programmes.
