Disney Channel is an American basic cable and satellite television channel that is owned by Disney Channels Worldwide, a unit of the Disney-ABC Television Group, a Disney Media Networks unit, itself a division of The Walt Disney Company. Aimed mainly at all ages, its programming consists of original first-run television series, theatrically-released and original made-for-cable movies and select other third-party programming. The channel – which formerly operated as a premium service – originally marketed its programs towards families, and then at younger children by the late 1990s, although its viewing audience has diversified since the mid-2000s to include older teenagers and adults.
The U.S. channel is also the flagship property of Disney Channels Worldwide.
As of August 2013, Disney Channel is available to approximately 98,142,000 television households in the United States.
