Disney Channel is a children's television channel owned by Disney-ABC Television Group broadcast in Romania, Bulgaria and other countries. It was previously known as Fox Kids, then Jetix. It is broadcast simultaneously in six languages (using DVB audio technology): Romanian, English, Bulgarian, Czech, Slovak and Hungarian. Advertising is shown in Romanian, Bulgarian,Hungarian, Czech and Slovak.
[edit] Disney block on JetixOn August 11, 2008 Jetix started broadcasting in Romania a block of "Disney stars"[1], featuring the series Kim Possible, Phineas and Ferb, American Dragon and Hannah Montana. High School Musical aired on August 22, 2008 and High School Musical 2 aired on November 1, 2008. The Disney block was only available in Romania and Bulgaria. It was fully dubbed into Romanian, and an old Bulgarian translation of Kim Possible (once aired on BNT Channel 1) was made available on October 20, 2008. High School Musical 2 was also dubbed. Subsequently, Phineas and Ferb and American Dragon were also dubbed by Media Link using voice-over dubbing (unlike all pre-2005 Disney cartoon series, which were all dubbed with synchronized voices). This way of dubbing is very common in Bulgarian television, because it costs less and takes less time to produce (as the voices of actors are just placed directly over a quieted original voice track). Usually, only theatrically or home video-released animated films are dubbed with synchronized voices, and in the 1990s only Disney's animated series were dubbed this way for television. Only starting in 2008, Disney allowed Bulgarian broadcasters to dub films themselves, and currently all of them use voice-over dubbing. [edit] Feeds
[edit] Launch date
[edit] Jetix RussiaMain article: Jetix (Russia) Jetix Russia was based on this channel, but all things related to Disney were automatically replaced with Jetix promos. Certain shows which then did not air on the regular Jetix CEE (W.I.T.C.H., Iggy Arbuckle) were part of the hour-and-a-half long programming block that replaced the Disney block. When Jetix CEE was changed to Disney Channel, the Russian language transmission ceased. Jetix Russia, now as a separate channel, continues to exist for the time being. In January 2010 it will rebranded as Disney Channel and it will be the Central and Eastern Europe channel with Russian audio. [edit] Disney rebrandAfter Disney XD successfully launched on February 13, 2009 in the US, the Disney-ABC Television Group re-branded Jetix France to Disney XD on April 1, 2009 and it was expected to be rolled out to other European territories in 2009.[2][3] Recently, however, Disney announced that the Jetix channel in certain countries (namely Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Bulgaria) will be renamed to The Disney Channel, marking that channel's first introduction in these countries. The change happened at September 19, 2009. [4] Disney Channel Romania & Bulgaria are broadcast as a single video feed with two audio channels and soon there will be a Russian audio channel. The current Disney Channel channel has Serbian subtitles, it is also possible that the Disney Channel will be made available in Serbia as well. Jetix Central and Eastern Europe is re branded as The Disney Channel from the 19th September 2009 according to a run of advertisements on the channel announcing the change. [edit] AvailabilityDisney Channel is broadcast in Romania by all cable TV and DTH operators. The Romanian version of the channel is also included in the list of channels of various Moldovan cable operators as well as in the basic package of the digital platform Digi TV in Serbia and Croatia. Disney Channel Romania is broadcast in 24/7 mode by all cable and satellite TV operators . Fox Kids, then Jetix, now Disney Channel has been available in all cable operators in Bulgaria since around 1999 and was mostly broadcast with either the Russian or English language audio track. From October 2007 Jetix is available with a Bulgarian audio track for some of the shows. The Jetix brand was previously known in Bulgaria from Balkan News Corporation's channel bTV, which continued to air a Jetix block even after Fox Kids was sold to Disney. Currently, translation and distribution for the channel's Bulgarian version is handled by Media Link. It was expected that the channel would reach 100% translation of its shows in 2008. [5] However, this was achieved only in early 2009, with many shows being withheld from broadcast after February 2009 until translation of their episodes is completed. In May and June many such programs will be returned to the channel, since translation has advanced a lot. Hannah Montana is now the only untranslated show, however it is available in Bulgarian on BNT 1 since March 28, 2009. It is still not known when the station promos and announcements will start showing in Bulgarian (currently they remain in English). [edit] Shows that aired on Jetix CEE until September 19, 2009Shows available in Bulgarian are marked with an asterisk (*).
