The Walt Disney Company will stop 24/7 distribution of Disney XD in The Netherlands on July 31. The channel is currently distributed by Ziggo and KPN.
However, the daytime version that is broadcast 14 hours a day, time-sharing with Dutch TV station Veronica, will continue.
The 24/7 channel is also distributed in Belgium, but viewers in Wallonia and Luxembourg continue to receive the French version of Disney XD.
The closure seems part of an international trend, where youth oriented channels are stopping linear distribution – to be replaced by on-demand services.
