Disney will next week launch a timeshifted version of its preschool children's channel Playhouse Disney. Disney is adopting a new model for the Playhouse Disney + channel, with programmes on the channel shown 25 minutes later than on the core Disney Playhouse channel, as opposed to the one-hour delay typically used for timeshifted channels. The move means Disney now operates timeshifted channels for three of its channel brands:
Disney Channel, Disney Cinemagic and Playhouse Disney.
Disney Playhouse+ will launch via satellite platform Sky on October 30 in EPG slot 612.
Rob Gilby, managing director of Disney Channels UK said: “Most staggercast channels are based on the concept of timeshifting alone hence the standard plus one approach. Playhouse Disney + takes into account both timeshifting and potential repetition, which we hope will offer more flexibility for parents and preschoolers.”
