History
On 3 May 2010 Disney Junior was first launched as Playhouse Disney in the Netherlands and on 22 June in Belgium. It also launched under the same name as a block on the main Disney Channel, replacing Jetix Play[1] Before September 10, 2011, this channel was called Playhouse Disney, the last show as Playhouse Disney was Special Agent Oso at 6:30 PM.[2][3]
In 2018, one third of Disney Belgium's employees were laid off, as Disney decided to move its Benelux subsidiary to France, including among others Disney Channel activities.[4][5]
Ziggo announced that Disney Junior as a TV channel would close down in the Netherlands on 1 April 2019. Disney Channels Benelux is planning to distribute its programs differently (on Disney+).[6][7] The Dutch channel continues broadcasting in Belgium.
After a year absence, the channel's programs moved to "Mickey Mornings" on Disney Channel on 17 November 2020.
