Sky is all set to launch a new TV channel in the upcoming month. The new channel will be a home for Disney’s films in the UK and Ireland. The new channel Sky Movies Disney is all set to go on air on March 28, 2013 and will broadcast a range of new and classic Disney titles.
Sky Movies Disney has been created as a part of a new partnership deal between Disney and Sky. This will also cover films and Disney channels across multiple platforms and devices. After the launch, the first offering on the channel will include Tinker Bell – Secret of the Wings, Brave and Wreck It Ralph.
