Disney+ is Bringing Back TV Channels

A hand rises from the grave of cable TV...

"Eventually, streaming will get so complicated, that both companies and consumers will find it more simple to go back to scheduled programming" - Me, when I called it a few years ago.

If Disney brings back tv channels this means… Gasp! DISNEY IS REVIVING THEIR DEAD CHANNELS AROUND THE WORLD SORNARX TAKE NOTES DISNEY CHANNEL UK IS COMING BACK BABY

They're not the only streaming service that's put out a TV channel within the streaming channel. Criterion Channel has one of these, but it's just one, showing all your Criterion favorites such as Chungking Express and Modern Times. The downside is that you can't rewind it or check what movie is currently playing so good luck if you catch a movie halfway.

“Time doesn’t exist and history just repeats itself forever.” I think I’ve heard that somewhere else before…

I would definitely watch a 24/7 Phineas and Ferb Channel.

For once, Disney is actually taking the W

I love this idea a lot, imagine coming home after a long day and being like, “I’m feeling some Star Wars,” and you just turn on D+ and turn on the Star Wars channel.

Looks like Disney has finally taken a W again

I actually kinda dislike streaming. Specially now with so much of it. I just prefer to tune in my TV and watch whatever it is at the moment.

They need to bring back Playhouse Disney, it looks so much fun, but we all know it wouldn’t happen.

First Disney Plus adds Hulu, and now Disney Plus adds TV Channels, guess we are gonna be cable to watch live TV again.

So pluto for old disney shows? You know, i see absolutely this as an absolute win.

This is actually brilliant. Rather than constantly picking and choosing, you can see a variety of things that you normally wouldn’t bother watching

Cable… Cable never changes.

Cable never went away for me 😎 my household just has normal TV, the closest thing we have to on-demand or streaming is the DVR to record stuff I can’t watch as they air live.

If Disney are gonna bring back TV Channels ‘IN THE UK’, then they better bring back Disney Cinemagic! That channel was the only channel that brought the Disney Magic in our childhood lives…especially with watching Disney films and TV Shows! Like Aladdin, House Of Mouse, Lilo & Stitch, Tarzan, etc. Here in the UK, Cinemagic was only the Disney channel that showed all Disney movies including Disney movies that had flopped and that have premiered on Cinemagic. Adding to that, Disney should really bring back Playhouse Disney…fuck Disney Junior. But yeah, I’m hoping to see these Cinemagic back on the TV soon! :) 🙏

This sign is a reminder to exactly what I have been worried about in regards to the future of streaming, that if things were left unchecked they would end up becoming the new cable, and there is a reason no one wanted to touch cable anymore. Now you have way too many streaming/subscription services out there vying for your time because companies can't help themselves by being so selfish and want a bigger slice of the pie instead of keeping it simple. Now prices and terms for services are getting more ridiculous and new ideas and finished works will never see the light of day because they became a tax write off or some other nonsense. Won't be long, if not already, before bundles for streaming services start popping up in addition to these services no longer sharing their Ip's with other services just so they can desperately keep people subscribed to them. If we don't nip this in the butt legally soon, the future of entertainment as we know it won't be so bright.

Disney finally does something useful

This is FANTASTIC news! If Disney+ is bringing back TV channels, then that means...unlimited classic Disney show throwbacks!😊Hooray!
