Following the recent announcement of the groundbreaking,
multi-year distribution deal between DISH Network Corp. (NASDAQ:
DISH) and The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS), Disney Junior, the
popular 24-hour channel expressly for kids age 2-7 and their
parents/caregivers, is now available to DISH Network subscribers on
channel 168. Disney Junior is available in DISH programming
packages including America’s Top 200, America‘s Top 250 and
America’s Everything Pak.
Disney Junior is a global, multiplatform brand expressly for
kids aged 2-7. Disney Junior invites mom and dad to join their
child in the Disney experience of magical, musical and heartfelt
stories and characters, both classic and new, while incorporating
specific learning and development themes designed for young
children. Original series include the Annie Award-winning
"Sofia the First" and "Jake and the Never Land Pirates," the
Emmy-nominated "Doc McStuffins" and "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse,"
"Henry Hugglemonster" and "Sheriff Callie's Wild West," as well as
the upcoming "Miles From Tomorrowland" and the first Disney Junior
Original Movie "Lucky Duck." Original short-form series
include "Minnie's Bow-Toons," which follows Minnie Mouse and her
pal Daisy as they run Minnie's Bow-Tique, a specialty shop stocked
only with colorful bows and bowties, and "The Doc Files," an
extension of the acclaimed "Doc McStuffins" series, which offers
young viewers a glimpse into Doc's keen deductive skills as she
shares an in-depth look at specific cases and diagnoses after the
clinic doors close for the day.
Since publicly reporting ratings in April 2013, the 24-hour
Disney Junior channel has been the number one preschool-dedicated
TV network each week in total viewers, kids aged 2-5 and boys aged
2-5. In January 2014, the channel was home to the top three series
across preschooler TV networks with "Sheriff Callie's Wild West,"
"Sofia the First" and "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse."
The addition of Disney Junior to DISH’s offerings follows last
week’s announcement of the availability of WATCH ABC, WATCH ABC
Family, WATCH Disney Channel, WATCH Disney XD and Watch ESPN,
enabling DISH’s 14 million video subscribers to access live and
on-demand news, entertainment and sports programming on computers,
