Today, DIRECTV and Disney announced that they have reached a new agreement to add Disney Junior, the 24- hour channel expressly for kids age 2 to 7 and their families, to DIRECTV’s programming lineup beginning tomorrow, July 14, on channel 289. Disney Junior launched in 2011 as a daytime programming block on Disney Channel and expanded to a 24/7 channel in 2012. It is one of the most sought-after channels by DIRECTV customers and will be permanently added to their programming options as a basic channel.
With the Disney Junior channel, families can tune in around the clock for the great programming featured during the morning Disney Junior block on the Disney Channel, including the series “Jake and the Never Land Pirates,” “Doc McStuffins,” “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse,” “Handy Manny,” “Little Einsteins” and “Special Agent Oso.” Disney Junior also airs Walt Disney Studios’ and Pixar’s classic and contemporary animated films, as well as Disney’s many non-theatrical sequels so popular with children and parents.
The big question, is when everyone else will follow suit and get on the Disney Junior bandwagon. (I’m talking to YOU, Dish Network!)
