Talk:Family Channel (Cheyenne)/@comment-3004323-20160812231920

Explanation of the Family/Disney Channel case in Cheyenne: Disney Channel was launched in 1995 (as opposed to 2015 in real-life) as a secondary service to Family that would mainly air Disney content and became a basic cable channel in 2003. When Bell acquired Astral in 2013, the company retained the ownership of the Disney-branded channels (Disney Channel, Disney XD, Disney Junior and EBC Spark), but was forced to sold Family (which ended up acquired by DHX) due to ownership rules. Bell would remain to licence Disney's programming to Family until 2015, when Bell decided to not renew their contract. As a result, Disney programming gradually left Family and vice-versa and DHX ended up launch two new spin-off channels: Family Chrgd and Family Jr./Télémagino.
