UPDATE, 1 p.m. MONDAY: With the addition of Disney Junior on channel 289, NASA TV has moved to channel 346. Many thanks to @TeacherJTK for the info!
DirecTV and Disney have reached a new agreement through which the satellite provider added Disney Junior, a 24-hour channel expressly for kids ages 2-7 and their parents/caregivers, to its programming lineup Saturday on channel 289. Disney Junior launched in 2011 as a daytime programming block on Disney Channel and expanded to a 24/7 channel earlier this year.
DirecTV says Disney Junior is of the most sought-after channels, having been requested by many of its customers since the network was launched.
Disney Junior’s animated and live action programming blends Disney’s unparalleled storytelling and beloved characters with learning components, including early math and language skills, as well as healthy eating and lifestyles, with an emphasis on social and emotional development. The original series include Jake and the Never Land Pirates, Doc McStuffins, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, A Poem Is…, 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 which are so popular with children and parents.
“When it comes to children and families, nobody has the tremendous programming to compare with Disney,” said Derek Chang, DirecTV's executive VP of Content Strategy and Development. “Our customers have been clamoring for us to add Disney Junior since they first heard about the concept, and DirecTV is happy to place our trust in Disney as a partner in building this exciting new family service.”
“We are pleased to reach this agreement with DirecTV to provide Disney Junior’s high quality, valuable and family-friendly programming to their customers,” said David Preschlack, Disney/ESPN executive VP for Affiliate Sales and Marketing. “We know parents are passionate about having top quality television options for their families, and now millions will be able to watch outstanding preschool programming on a 24/7 channel unlike any other on television. With the addition of DirecTV, the 24-hour Disney Junior channel has distribution agreements that cover approximately 55 million U.S. households.”
As mentioned above, Disney Junior can be found on channel 289 in the DirecTV channel lineup.
