Disney Channel (Hebrew: ערוץ דיסני, romanized: 'Aroots dysny) is an Israeli children's television channel owned by Disney International Operations broadcast to Israeli audiences. It was previously known as Fox Kids and Jetix. It launched in its current form on 9 September 2009.^[1]^[2]

History

Fox Kids began broadcasting in Israel in February 2001, initially operating as a joint venture between Fox Kids Europe and Middle East Communication Holdings B.V., the latter of which held the distribution rights to the Saban Entertainment catalogue in Israeli territories.^[3] In June 2003, Fox Kids Europe took full control of both the network and the Saban catalogue.^[4]

Fox Kids was later rebranded to Jetix in March 2005.^[5]

On 9 September 2009, Jetix was replaced with Disney Channel.^[6]^[2] Disney Channel mainly aired programming from its US counterpart, as well as local content such as Balagan. In 2011, its sister, Disney Jr., was launched on Yes,^[7] and later on HOT on 27 November 2013.^{[citation needed]}
