Disney brings Cinemagic HD to UK
No longer just something for French children, Disney's Cinemagic HD channel will be coming to the UK this December on Sky Digital. Sky's HD count will hit 29 with the addition when it debuts in time for Christmas screenings of "Ratatouille" and "Tinkerbell." In case you're wondering what those two flicks have to do with Christmas, we have to say, "Get over it, Scrooge." Seriously, at least here in the US, we'll take anything HD that breaks up the "It's a Wonderful Life" - "Miracle on 34th Street" - "A Christmas Story" marathon that is the Christmas season and is kid-friendly! Hopefully the offerings on the HD movie-centric channel will grow quickly out of the gate for our UK friends.
Disney Cinemagic HD launches in France
In the race for "firsts", Disney claimed victory in the "children and family HDTV channel in a French market" category this past weekend. Disney Cinemagic HD went live Friday evening in France and other French-speaking territories with an exclusive broadcast of Brother Bear 2. As you might guess from the channel's name, it will focus on HD movie offerings. The channel is carried by Canalsat in France and has programming from 6AM - 1AM, which seems like it's definitely in the "way past your bedtime" zone to us. In a nod to the global marketplace we live in, the channel is available to those who sign up for the HD service plus the Family Pack; vive la tiered subscription packages![Via HDTV UK]
