Disney Channel is a Canadian English-language exempted Category B specialty channel owned by Corus Entertainment. First broadcasting on September 1, 2015, it is a localized version of the U.S. cable network Disney Channel, broadcasting live-action and animated programming aimed at children between the ages of 6 and 14.
The channel launched as part of a new licensing agreement between Corus and the Disney–ABC Television Group, which succeeded a previous program supply agreement between Disney and Family Channel (owned by DHX Media). Its launch marks the first time that a Disney Channel-branded television service has operated in Canada.
Since its launch on September 1, 1988, the English-language Category A hybrid premium/basic cable and satellite television channel Family, which is now owned by children's programming producer DHX Media and previously held by Astral Media up until its acquisition by Bell Canada in 2013, held Canadian rights to Disney Channel's programming library.- As such, it operated licensed Canadian versions of Disney Channel's spinoff brands, Disney XD and Disney Junior (one of which operated as a multiplex channel of Family airing in English, with a separately-licensed service airing in French) as sister networks.
