Disney Channel, Disney Channel +1, TOON Disney and Playhouse Disney are available on the Digital+ satellite platform on channels 30, 31, 32 and 33. The channels broadcast in Spanish with an original language option, American and British programmes broadcast in English on the second track while anime broadcast in Japanese.

Latin America and the Caribbean

In the 90's Disney Channel started airing in Latin America via DirecTV as a premium channel. Later, around the 2000s it became available in other cable companies like Intercable. In 2003, because of the crisis in Argentina and Venezuela, DirecTV removed the channel from all the subscriptions, and it came back in 2004 as part of the basic channel grid. In Latin America, programming includes "Studio Disney" and "Zapping Zone".

The channel clears all of the same series as the US network, down to the Playhouse Disney block in the morning. Old series like So Weird, Teacher's Pet and Teamo Supremo are broadcasted over Jetix. The shows over Disney Channel Latin America have Spanish and English soundtracks; it takes approximately 2 or 3 months (after the premiere in the US) to translate a season in Spanish.

Brazil has its own version because the official language there is Portuguese instead of Spanish.

Viewers in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the Bahamas and most of the Caribbean (except for Cuba and the Dominican Republic) receive the US Disney Channel.

Other versions

The Disney Channel is also available in France, Germany, Lebanon, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Ukraine, Japan and Turkey.

Canada does not have its own version of Disney Channel but an equivalent named Family Channel.
