Despite that Disney is shutting down most of its services and replacing them with Disney+, India gets a few new ones with the STAR Worlds being replaced with theme channels for terror and romance, that was something I didn't see coming honestly. Finally the UTV brand can be put to rest, looked like it never took off and thankfully will be replaced with more widely known marks. I wonder what'll Super Hungama air, more Fujio Fuji animes like Ultra B or Chimpui? I don't know if these animes have been blurayed yet.
Weird there are SD network launches when everything nowadays around the world is in HD.

Actually Disney ruined UTV. If not aquired by Disney and owned by any others it may still stand infront as country's leading film production, distribution, media and entertainment company. I loves its opening theme at the beginning of movies.

Exactly. Disney treated UTV like a neglected child. No wonder why Ronnie Screwvala started a new production company called RSVP Movies.

And UTV also had an international movie channel named "WORLD MOVIES" at that time. They have aired so many classic and blockbuster movies from all countries in their original language with English subtitles. Also UTV Channels including hungama were included in Dish TV & Sun Direct's Starter Pack

I'm not sure. But look at what their major competitor Sony PIX does. So i think this may be their new strategy to compete with Sony by adding regional feeds.

Disney is a destroyer. They acquire everything. Suck out the juice and turn it to money making machine. Kills creativity and revolve over reboot, sequel and fairy tales. After that start stunting. Under former 20th century Fox, Fox Star Studios is very active and became a leading film production company in a shorter span. Whenever Disney came it also started walking towards the path of UTV. I think in future 20th century studios will also have the same fate. Even the studio is releasing so many movies, it became frosty in marketing.

World movies was good channel, it would have been more successful if the movies would have been dubbed in English instead of keeping them in original language

But Actually "World Movies" is a property of Australian Network SBS. It was Under a franchisee/License agreement with them. But unfortunately when Disney Came to acquire UTV, the agreement with SBS terminated so the channel vanished.
