The German Disney Channel is an offshoot of the US Disney Channel . It started on pay TV on October 16, 1999 and switched to free-to-air television on January 17, 2014 after a two-month break from broadcasting .
history
As a pay TV broadcaster (1999 to 2013)
On May 6, 1999, Buena Vista (Germany) GmbH submitted an application to the Bavarian State Center for New Media (BLM) for a nationwide entertainment program called Disney Channel . This was finally approved by the BLM on July 22, 1999.
The German offshoot of the Disney Channel went on October 16, 1999 with the claim Dein Ideensender. initially only on the air at Premiere World as part of the Family World package via cable and Astra . Before the pay-TV distribution was discontinued , it could be received via cable or satellite via the digital pay-TV platform Sky , the digital pay-TV platform Teleclub , and the IPTV service Telekom Entertain from Deutsche Telekom .
Disney Channel Germany broadcast Disney series and films before their free TV premiere.
In the fall-winter of 2008, the Disney Channel wanted to switch its program to the 16: 9 format, but did not. When this should be the case was still unclear at the time. With the introduction of the new logo (which had already been announced a few months beforehand through commercials) on December 8, 2011, the station switched to the 16: 9 format.
On March 21, 2009, the Disney Channel had broadcast only one series for the first time 24 hours: "Hannah Montana". Corresponding marathons followed later with "The Magicians of Waverly Place" and "Wickie and the Strong Men". The series JONAS - The series was broadcast for the first time in Germany for the station's tenth anniversary .
The distribution of the Disney Channel on pay TV was stopped on November 29, 2013.
As a free-to-air television station (since 2014)
In September 2012, The Walt Disney Company acquired the station Das Vierte from Mini Movie International, but initially waived any changes to the program that were perceptible to the public. In April 2013, however, Disney announced that it would replace The Fourth with a free-to-air Disney Channel.
On January 1, 2014 at midnight, Das Vierte ceased broadcasting with a farewell trailer; This was followed by the activation of a trailer informing about the contents of the new Disney channel. On January 17, 2014 at 6:00 a.m., the Disney Channel started its broadcasting operations again as a full program with the first animated cartoon with the cartoon character Mickey Mouse , Steamboat Willie . Broadcasts generally take place between 5:45 a.m. and around 1:00 a.m., and various teleshopping windows are broadcast between around 1:00 a.m. and 5:45 a.m.
Since the restart on free-to-air television, the station's slogan has been “Disney for us all”.
Station voices of the new Disney Channel are Dominik Auer , Marieke Oeffinger and Daniela Hoffmann .
From July 14, 2014, there was a Disney Channel app for devices with Android or iOS operating systems . In addition to the program schedule and the live stream of the station, you could also watch videos from the past 7 days in the media library. As announced, the app was discontinued on March 6, 2020. The same applies to the live stream and the media library, but the official YouTube channel will remain. Many of the Disney Channel series can also be found on Disney + .
The Disney Channel was initially broadcast officially as a full program, as the former broadcast license was taken over by Das Vierte . However, due to the lack of news broadcast, an application was made to switch to a special interest program . With the expiry of the broadcasting license, the station has been operated as a specialty program since October 2014. In 2017, the station had a market share of 1.2% among 14 to 49 year olds in Germany.
Disney Channel HD
The HD offshoot of the old Disney Channel had been available via Tele Columbus and Sky since December 24, 2011.
Like the SD version, the HD offshoot was switched off on November 29, 2013 and starts, like the new, free-to-air SD version, on January 17, 2014 at 6:00 a.m. The station can currently be received via HD + and various cable packages, including Vodafone Kabel Deutschland since March 3, 2014 and DVB-T2 HD since March 29, 2017 .
program
During the day from 6:00 a.m., the program is geared towards children, teenagers and young adults. In the evening from 8:15 p.m., a female target group is to be increasingly addressed, but programs for the whole family are also to be broadcast. The program of the new Disney Channel not only includes current Disney productions, but also classics such as Aristocats , Cinderella and The Muppet Show . In addition, programs from ABC and ABC Family as well as PIXAR productions will find their place and round off the program together with German-language in-house productions. The aim of the new station is to make the Disney brand better known in Germany.
