Parents — who depend on Disney Junior favorites like “Bluey” and “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” to entertain their kids — were left fuming.
“My toddler watches Disney Junior non-stop! This is not a helpful resolution for us!! Bring back Disney Junior!!” tweeted one angry parent on the rebranded Twitter site X.
“I am so mad right now spectrum removed Disney Junior and Disney XD permanently I loved those channels,”“Disney Junior was such a huge part of my daughter’s life. We spent so many happy hours together watching shows there. Sad other kiddos won’t get the chance,” Disney Junior is known for such shows as “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” seen here and “Bluey,” among others.Charter and Disney noted that much of the content from the eliminated channels — including Disney Junior — will migrate to streaming platforms such as Disney+ or Hulu, or to Charter’s other cable properties.
“Our collective goal has always been to build an innovative model for the future. This deal recognizes both the continued value of linear television and the growing popularity of streaming services, while addressing the evolving needs of our consumers,” Disney CEO Bob Iger and Charter CEO Chris Winfrey said in a joint statement Monday.
In recent years, the future of channels like Disney Junior have been called into question as Disney+ has grown and expanded its offering of TV shows and movies.
