After 12 Years Of Official Disney Channel Operations 'Losing' In Russia, Replaced Solntse Channels

JAKARTA - This is one of the impacts of the Russia-Ukraine war. The Disney Channel, after airing in Russia for 12 years, will change.

Disney Channel is a children's TV station with the second highest rating in Russia. He officially stopped flying after more than 12 years.

Disney said in March it would stop all businesses in Russia from invasion of Ukraine, including licensing content and products, but some channels would take time to stop due to the nuances of the contract.

Disney Channel will now be replaced by a new child TV station called "Solntse", said parent company Solntse, Media1, Monday, December 5, as reported by Channel News Asia.

Solntse, which means "solar" in Russian, will start airing at 6 a.m. on December 14th and broadcast "all-Russian" films, animations and TV shows, he said.

Among his post-showers are Western-made feature films such as "Snowflake, the White Gorilla" and "Family Heist", as well as Russian-made comedy films such as "Breakfast at Dad's" and "Kitchen in Paris".

"Contents in Solntse vary but all have one thing in common: giving a positive energy charge and, most importantly, it will always be warm and fun at Solntse," said Media1.

"Now the sun will be available to Russian viewers 365 days a year, at least on our channel," said Ruben Oganesyan, the channel's general producer.
