Disney India, which owns and operates eight TV channels in kids, youth and movie genres, is planning to expand its bouquet by launching more channels in the 2016–17 fiscal years. While the company is still at the drawing board as far as new launches are concerned, it is evaluating opportunities in existing and new genres as well as HD space.

“In the last year, we have seen a lot of activity and new highlights in the BARC scheme of things so we are looking at new opportunities. Going forward, some of that will be in new genres and some of that will be in HD space. I can’t comment further right now on that. We are still on the strategy table. The new launches could happen in the next financial year,” Disney India Media Channels VP and head of revenue Nikhil Gandhi told TelevisionPost.com.

Disney, which had ended its distribution alliance with IndiaCast Media Distribution last year, has concluded major carriage deals with leading distribution platforms including direct-to-home (DTH) operator Airtel Digital TV and multi-system operators (MSOs) like Hathway Cable & Datacom, DEN Networks, GTPL Hathway, InCable and Fastway Transmission.
