Disney Launches 9 New Channels
Nine more channels will debut on Disney Star in February 2023.
The broadcaster declared the revised rate to be compliant with NTO 2.0 while also announcing the debut of new channels.
Two Hindi movie channels—Star Gold Romance and Star Gold Thrills. An English movie channel—Star Movies Select, three sports channels—Star Sports Select HD2, Star Sports 1 Tamil HD and Star Sports 1 Telugu HD. One kids channel—Disney Channel HD, as well as Tamil GEC Vijay Super HD and Malayalam movie channel—Asianet Movies HD are among the channels that will be launched the following year.
The broadcaster had deferred the launch of these channels in December last year.
The broadcaster was awaiting clarity on NTO 2.0 as the matter was expected to come up before the Supreme Court for a final hearing on November 30, 2021. The broadcaster has now decided to launch the remaining channels next year as NTO 2.0 will be implemented on February 1, 2023.
The network has introduced a number of additional channels in 2022, such as Pravah Pictures, Star Kirano and Star Kirano HD.
