Broadband TV News <\/a>regarding the expansion:<\/p>\n\u201cThe Disney Channel and Disney+ have always addressed complementary audiences. While the Disney Channel offers a linear and carefully curated schedule for the whole family, Disney+ enables personalised on-demand viewing and live content such as the UEFA Women\u2019s Champions League.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The integration of the Disney Channel on Disney+ is therefore the next logical step: we combine orientation and a shared viewing experience with the flexibility of streaming, offering our audiences more choice at no additional cost.<\/p>\n
The Disney Channel in Germany was one of the few international linear channels that wasn\u2019t closed down, plus with it being a free-to-air channel, that likely makes it easier for Disney to expand its reach to more people in Germany, compared to other countries where it\u2019s been included in many traditional cable\/satellite pay-TV bundles.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In the United States, Disney+ has been offering curated playlists, which it calls Streams, and recently, those have also expanded out to Latin America.\u00a0 Those subscribers in some countries in Latin America also now have access to Radio Disney within Disney+.\u00a0 \u00a0So hopefully subscribers in other regions will get access to this feature.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
Roger\u2019s Take:\u00a0 Adding a livestream of the Disney Channel linear channel sounds like a fantastic idea, it\u2019s just a shame it\u2019s taken Disney years to do this.\u00a0 \u00a0They had this option in the old DisneyLife streaming service that existed before Disney+ even launched, and while I\u2019d like to see this feature added in other countries.\u00a0 But I suspect it won\u2019t be something that will go global anytime soon.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n
