International Disney Networks Thread Part 13

I was kinda wrong.
It's Disney Channel Switzerland.

I just recorded from another stream and those promos all still have the Walloon announcer - and ads, unlike the new Swiss feed
It kinda makes sense honestly, as they still have Disney Jr., but also want to avoid Walloon ads, soooo yeah

I'll be posting continuities of both soon.

The biggest surprise of the year. Bigger than the TeleBlueization of DC PT

Here's a compilation of now/next bumpers from Disney Channel Poland, aired last week.


On the first day they only aired 2 of them, later it changed to about 4-6 a day. They mostly stayed in the same slots throughout the week.

 

[Rrr]

I don’t remember seeing next idents for years here.

@Francisque Was there a Playhouse Disney block on Rai Due or is that just a pre-show thing? Some early PHD stuff had a "Playhouse Disney presents" logo during the title cards.



(also the Italian intro for this sucks cuz there's way too many syllables but that's nothing to do with this…)

In Portugal there was no Playhouse Disney Presents bumper when the shows aired on SIC's kids slot (but not Disney Kids, only Mickey Mouse Clubhouse) and RTP 2 (Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Handy Manny).

There were listings magazines who put Special Agent OSO to promote Disney Kids yet the show never aired there or on terrestrial TV here.

I admittedly know little about this, but probably it's to introduce preschooler stuff?

I remember Sabato Disney, Domenica Disney and Disney Club

I had the real Disney Channels back then lol

It was in 2002 when the Toon Disney and Playhouse Disney (not just PD but even Toon Disney) blocks were added to Disney Channel IT, one year before the big rebrand.

EDIT: it was a preschooler block within Sabato Disney

 

[RandomMe]

I'm pretty sure that a limited number of Playhouse Disney titles (maybe Stanley?) made it to SIC's Disney Kids strand, but I could be wrong.

SIC had limited interest in the preschool side of the catalog.

Reminds me: the merged EMEA feed compound gives less prominence to live-action. I could be wrong, though

 

[TVArchive]

I understand that Disney CEE (or EE) has finally split into Disney RO and Disney BG and is broadcasting on the same schedule?

It's only after a month following it's world premiere this month. Wow.

I think they share schedules

 

[zakawer2]

Apparently France, French-speaking Belgium and French-speaking Switzerland have separate feeds now. And the one in French-speaking Switzerland is shared with Portugal, Baltics, former Yugoslavia, Greece & Cyprus, and Malta. Channel with English, European Portuguese, Greek and French audio, as well as Serbian, Croatian and Slovene subtitles.

The Portuguese subfeed has movie opt-outs and even airs non-Disney movies.

And I'm not sure if the Dutch-language and French-language feeds offered in Belgium are even connected anymore. It seems like the Dutch-language feed for Belgium got merged with the Netherlands feed or something.

Also, are MENA, South Africa and Rest of Africa separate feeds or not? Is Rest of Africa the same feed as MENA or is it the SEE feed?

So are there less feeds or more…?

 

[zQwmy]

Rest of Africa seems to be MENA (English and Arabic tracks), which is currently connected to SEE, which has Greek, English and French tracks (the French one being for Romandie), as well as Serbian, Croatian and Slovene subtitles, as you said @zakawer2
Those two feeds currently share promos.

Flanders (which did not merge with NL), Wallonia and Portugal use the same schedule, but one hour later - for no reason actually, even after respecting timezones, they're still shifted by an hour.
Those three feeds currently share promos.

Now to the compound with DJR shows: France, Netherlands and Nordic. Same schedule for the most part (Nordic still has Disney Sjov for example)
Those three feeds recently started sharing their promos too.

 

[RandomMe]

It's confusing though

More opt-outs probably

 

[Francisque]

It's actually a lot less confusing than you might think, and @zQwmy has described what has happened succintly but in a very good way

So are there less feeds or more…?

More or less the feeds from a technical point of view have actually increased, but all of them are more connected

 

[zakawer2]

Okay, so this is what it looks like—correct me if I'm wrong:
Scandinavia/Netherlands/France (English, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Dutch, French, mixture of dubbing and subtitles in Finnish)
Belgium/Portugal (Dutch, French, European Portuguese)
French-speaking Switzerland/Baltics/ex-Yugoslavia/Greece and Cyprus/Malta (English, Greek, French, subtitles in Serbian, Croatian and Slovene)
Germany/Austria/German-speaking Switzerland (English?, German)
Middle East and Africa (English, Arabic dubbing for cartoons and Arabic subtitles for live-action)
South Africa (English)
Poland (English, Polish)
Czech Republic/Slovakia/Hungary (English, Czech, Hungarian)
Romania (English, Romanian)
Bulgaria (English, Bulgarian)

Does the Germany feed even have an English audio track at all, even if it excludes shows originally produced in German to begin with or certain other non-English shows? Also, what feeds are offered in Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Francophone Africa and Lusitophone Africa? Do Arab countries in the Maghreb have access to the French Disney Channel?

 

[RandomMe]

Ours is an opt-out of Belgium/Portugal at times

 

[E-Scope]

I think that Sunrise TV still shows the schedule for Disney Channel France, rather than SEE.
