These questions adapted to DC PT:

Do the channels have BUG? Or the logo is just in the series?

The but only appears during shows.

Why the CEE commericial bumper have RECLAME instead of Publicitate/Реклама?

DC PT has no break bumpers unlike their competitors. Also, for that question, there must be a feed split ahead. Sooner or later.

Do CH/HU has HD version? If no is it planned?

DC PT didn't re-use the HD feed of Disney Cinemagic for DC PT, so it's definetly not in the plans. A pain for one of the most-watched cable channels here.

Do CH/HU makes his own idents?

On DC PT, they don't make their own.

This Sunday DC Canada is having a two movie DCOM airing treat. High School Musical and High School Musical 2 - will be starting at 3:30 PM ET/PT.

DC PT will air Eragon this weekend. Not the first time, by my reckoning.

Today Disney Channel CEE aired High School Musical 2.

 

[RandomMe]

One of the HSM movies ared recently. Don't know which one. Probably 2.

 

[jfoley85]

Yeah, I'm fond of the franchise. I know that Netflix or Shomi has the 3rd Movie on it here. I can't remember which one though at the moment....I have both.

EDIT: I checked it's on Shomi and not Netflix.

CZ/HU - Stuck In The Middle endboard:

It's a very long promo/music video.

 

[RandomMe]

Here in Portugal we got it in June. The luxury of being a feed entirely in Portuguese.

I've seen it a few times, it's an alright show ! bought a 43 inch HDTV Thursday. My TV habits are alot more enjoyable now ! My Provider Bell Aliant which has Fibe Provides Disney Channel HD too !

 

[Red Arrow]

I noticed that Disney NL really likes the word "club". Just look at these Dutch titles...

House of Mouse => Mickeys Club
Goof Troop => Goof Club
Jungle Cubs => Jungleclub

I have two Samsungs (from 2008 and 2009), both of them are 16:9, and here in Portugal, not even Disney is prepared for an HD situation.

My TV habits could be a lot more enjoyable if (and only if) Disney Channel PT improved their schedule to look like DC Scandinavia or DC Japan in the process.

Speaking of DC Japan, some months back they premiered Doraemon. However, the Doraemon they're playing is not the one that airs on TV Asahi's network, it's the Japanese dub of the American version.

This is probably in order to fulfil "bi-lingual programming" quotas. I don't know why, but they aired shows like Yumeiro Pâtissiére only in Japanese.

Don't know if this is just a mistake, but if it's not it's a strong indication our feeds will soon finally split. Throughout the whole day there have been two ad breaks during breaks instead of just one. Instead of us sharing CZ & HU ads in one break there are now breaks for each country seperately - one ad break with only Czech ads -> promos -> one ad break with only Hungarian ads -> promos -> idents -> show. Could be some test.

But what are they going to do with Hungary, then?

I think it's more likely to get Nick CZ.

Maybe it's a test to imitate the system used by DC Scandi?

It would get its own feed like us. I don't see why not. It would likely be poorer initially, but it would soon catch up. I see it similarly with Nick. I'm certain we will get both channels localized eventually. It's no longer a matter of 'if' but 'when'. That is the future and more and more channels are doing it, because localization can tremendously boost ratings. If Disney CZHU is treated as 2 different feeds online, at the same time being very healthy financially and having a demand for a split, I don't see a reason why it couldn't happen after 7 years on linear tv as well. I just can't see the coming HD feed being shared, sorry.

Maybe it's a test to imitate the system used by DC Scandi?

Could you elaborate?

 

[RandomMe]

Could you elaborate?

A hub feed with advertising for one country and two separate feeds for their respective countries. That's what happens in Scandinavia, with the main feed beinf for Sweden, Finland and the Baltics and the two other ones being for Denmark and Norway.

 

[Red Arrow]

I don't know why you want separate feeds so badly. I would love to see something like CN NL/DE or DC NL/NU.

Heck, even CN FR/NL seems interesting, once all episodes of Angelo Rules have aired.

 

[RandomMe]

I would love to see something along the lines of DC Scandinavia and Portugal, but that is actually impossible.

Teaming up with DC Latin America is OK, but the amount of movies is what makes it feel exhausting, even if it makes a quarter of the day's schedule.

Or what about DC JP? They could bring us a couple of anime titles that never aired here, but it too is impossible.

If only there was a solution to improve the feed...

@RegularCapital apparently the break you checked/recorded on Disney Junior was an "irregular" one: Disney decided to change the schedule just after I checked it

But now, are you able to check the ad break on either today or tomorrow (or for the whole week until Friday) between 4pm and 6pm (about 16:22, 16:52, 17:22, 17:52 to 16:30, 17:00, 17:30, 18:00; even just one) to see how they're able to fill this long external breaks, in order to keep the 30 minutes slots and not have an ad break in the middle? Again, I suppose they have ads+educational fillers, but I want a confirmation
Thanks a lot again

Do it with calm, don't worry about it

It goes also without saying I believe Disney Junior UK never had internal breaks because of its preschooler focus, just as the American counterpart..so I think they have always relied on some kind of fillers
