History
On 28 February 2003, Disney Channel was launched, and was then at the time exclusive to the Viasat satellite platform (Sirius 4). Later that year, it became available in digital cable networks, such as Swedish Com Hem. Once the channel was originally launched, the only programmes aired were animated programmes. A lot of them were not Disney Channel Original Series (as they are called in the US). The first live-action series aired on Disney Channel was Smart Guy, which debuted in 2005. [citation needed]
In 2003, the channel also applied for a license to broadcast in the Swedish Digital Terrestrial Television network. They were among the channels recommended by the Swedish Radio and TV Authority, and the government granted the Disney Channel a broadcasting license on January 29, 2004. The terrestrial transmissions could start on February 15 via the Boxer TV Access platform. Soon after that, the channel celebrated its first anniversary by dropping encryption for one weekend. On August 1, 2005, the channel became available to subscribers of the Canal Digital (Thor 2) satellite platform. Simultaneously, a sister channel called Toon Disney was launched. A third sister channel, Playhouse Disney, was launched on October 1, 2006.
In the autumn of 2009, the channel started broadcasting its first original productions. Among these are a sitcom called Når klokkerne ringer, produced by the Danish production company Nobody, and the music competition My Camp Rock, produced by Titan Television.[5]
In January 2012, Disney Channel Scandinavia got the same on air logo and graphics as Disney Channel UK. Later in May 2012 the channel updated to 16:9 (Widescreen)
Since August 1, 2012 the channel started to air advertisements between the shows. From autumn 2012, the Disney Channels in Sweden, Norway and Denmark split feeds during the commercial breaks so it would be easier to air local advertisements, however the promos & schedule are still the same in the Nordic countries.[6][7]
In October 2013, Disney Channel Scandinavia introduced their own local produced mini-series "Violetta: The Scoop" where they catch up with Violetta, show sneak peeks, and talk about "secrets" from the show.
On May 29, 2014, Disney Channel Scandinavia got the brand new on-air graphics and logo created by BDA Creative. The new logo was first introduced on Disney Channel (Germany) in January 2014 when it went free to air and later on May 23 in USA.
Programming
The channel is mainly aimed at children, broadcasting Disney television series 24 hours daily. Disney feature films are also an important part of the channel's programming. All of the programmes are dubbed into local languages. Since autumn 2012, Disney Channel broadcast with different video streams between the countries with its audio stream, but schedule is still the same. Many syndicated programmes have been aired on Disney Channel, such as The Fairly OddParents and Scaredy Squirrel.
Website
The website has games, videos, movies, shows, schedules, characters, and shopping. In 2007 a video service called Disney Play was added but it's only available in the region. In 2012 the site was updated because of a new logo and in November 2013 the site got updated again to the same look as the Disney Channel UK's website
Sister networks
Disney XD
Disney XD broadcasts 16 hours a day, between 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM. It replaced Jetix and Toon Disney on September 12, 2009.[8][9] Jetix used to end its broadcast daily at 6:00 PM. Disney XD is funded by advertising, as was Jetix, while Toon Disney was commercial-free.
Disney Junior
Subscriptions-funded channel launched in October 2006 on the Canal Digital and Viasat satellite plaltforms. Cable networks launched it later on. Com Hem, the largest cable network in Sweden, launched it on April 2, 2007. On September 10, 2011, this channel was rebranded as Disney Junior.
