MUMBAI: Canada’s media and entertainment company Corus Entertainment Inc has inked a long-term licensing agreement with the Disney/ABC Television Group that marks a new chapter for kids and family entertainment in Canada.
Under the terms of this expansive agreement, Corus has bagged the English and French-language rights to Disney Channel's content and will also launch Disney Channel in Canada.
Scheduled to debut on 1 September, 2015, Disney Channel will give Canadian kids and families full access to its slate of shows such as K.C. Undercover, Girl Meets World, Austin & Ally, Liv and Maddie and many others. The agreement also includes authenticated simultaneous streaming and ad-supported video-on-demand rights for select programs airing on the channel, allowing fans to catch-up on episodes of their favourite series. Following the launch of Disney Channel in the fall, select Disney branded kids linear television offerings will also be rolled out in the future as those brands and programming are transitioned to Corus.
This multi-year agreement expands on the relationship between Corus and the Disney/ABC Television Group that began in 2011, when Corus announced the launch of its millennial-targeted service ABC Spark, based on Disney/ABC's hugely successful ABC Family channel in the United States.
