In 1983, Walt Disney Productions announced its launch of the family-oriented cable channel.

The channel's programming during its run as a premium channel, carrying through to its transition to a basic cable channel, targeted children and teenagers during the daytime, families during primetime and adults at night. At the time of its launch, Disney Channel was a premium channel that aired for 16 hours a day, from 7 a.m.-11 p.m. ET/PT (6 a.m.-10 p.m. CT, 8 a.m.-midnight MT). During its first full year, the channel was available to more than 532,000 subscribers in the U.S. In April 1984, the channel extended its programming day to 18 hours a day by adding two hours to its late night schedule (7 a.m.-1 a.m. ET/PT, 6 a.m.-midnight CT, 8 a.m.-2 a.m. MT). The series had a sneak peek on Disney Channel in the UK and Ireland on December 14, 2018, with the episode "Dog's Best Friend"[1] and the short "Merry Pups".[2] Disney Channel in Germany also premiered a sneak peek of the series on December 15 with the first two episodes,[3] and other Disney Channels across Europe followed suit.
