International Disney Networks Thread Part 10

[zQwmy]

It somewhat seems like they temporarily removed the unlocalised promos on Disney Channel EMEA...
Not sure what's happening right now. Either a lot, or nothing at all.

 

[Markus Nelis]

Yeah. They don't seem to air the promos that have new episodes mentioned or a marathon. Just generic Disney promos with Amphibia, The Owl House and Lab Rats. None of these shows air btw.

 

[Artan1528]

Yeah I noticed the old Cars on the Road promo too. I hope they will relaunch soon ://

 

[Markus Nelis]

They will. The question is when. They said the date would be April 1 so it should be here before midnight.

 

[zQwmy]

Not a single thing has happened yet.

So at this point it might just not arrive today at all.. ?

 

[Markus Nelis]

It's probably switching when everyone sleeps. Might as well relaunch at 3a. That way the sudden change is unnoticable.

“Unnoticeable“ not when this mess is going on

 

[g4litch]

Feels like we'll see many bugs in the future from Disney Channel Scandinavia seeing that they messed up even their own launch

 

[Markus Nelis]

I don't know if there were any difficulties about the relaunch. Unless everyone is off for today. Expect a launch between midnight and 6a. I'm not going to stay up for long today as I have work tomorrow but if it hasn't switched at night, I'll wake up at 5:55a to see if the launch will happen at 6.

 

[zQwmy]

Unless everyone is off for today.

That might actually be the case.
Maybe they scheduled the playouts to automatically switch this morning, which somehow failed, meaning they couldn't fix it manually.

If they wanted anything to look unnoticeable, they would've switched to the new feed at 6:00am.

The oddest thing is that if they knew about April 1st being a problematic day, they had a lot of time to move the switch day to April 2nd

This is among. the messiest things ever, and very noticeable at that

 

[Markus Nelis]

The switch could have not been successful though. It was planned on a playout system which may have automatically failed. I think everything was perfect but it's one of those bad mistakes that they obviously didn't have time to react today as people are most likely off. They've done errors but people make mistakes. Even professionals.

 

[Artan1528]

Since it's a holiday today, they have no people working. They probably thought April 1st, Monday, perfect. But forgot it's a holiday and nobody is working, so I think we will see the switch tonight/in the morning

 

[Rrr]

Indeed, but I really hope the management will be a bit better with the new relaunch. Reminds me of a certain “test broadcast”…

 

[Markus Nelis]

Yeah that test was bizarre. Got to experience it for three days. They should have at least been careful with that as this happened on a time people were at work anyway. The same promo 11 times in a row. Never seen that. Was weird but fun as a viewer as well.

Hopefully yes, although these days things like that are somehow automated, it just surprises me.

We're talking about a completely different schedule to the published one

 

[Walker]

I noticed something while watching in Turkey. A rating system was added when the program started. Our country has EMEA feed. I don't know when it was added.

 

[Francisque]

The changes on the Scandinavian feeds should happen today, also because the DJ Scandinavian YT pages have changed to "Disney Junior på Disney Channel"

 

[Rrr]

Well, the DJ schedules are still on the official sites, so…

 

[Francisque]

Well, the DJ schedules are still on the official sites, so…

But they've always been because they're the pan-EMEA schedules
And we know how messy the Scandi management is

It doesn't mean the channel won't shut down very soon: plus, the schedules already aren't shown on many external websites
