Sky Movies Disney channel to launch on Sky in March

Sky is to launch a brand new, dedicated satellite television channel that will become the pay-TV home of Disney Studios movies in the UK and Ireland.

Sky Movies Disney will go live on the Sky platform in late March. It is part of a wide-ranging partnership deal between Sky and Disney, that follows similar collaboration agreements between the part-Rupert Murdoch media giant and Warner Brothers, Universal Pictures and Sony.

Also under the Sky-Disney deal, the satellite broadcaster has renewed its carriage deals to the suite of Disney networks, including the Disney Channel, Disney XD and Disney Junior, along with Disney Junior HD, which will launch in April.

Available in standard and high definition, the channel will launch on March 28 and exclusively air new Disney movies such as Brave, Tinker Bell: Secret of the Wings and Wreck-It Ralph on pay-TV in 2013, along with Oz the Great and Powerful, Monsters University and The Lone Ranger after they finish their cinema runs. Disney films available in 3D will also be shown on the Sky 3D channel under the deal.
