Spectrum & Disney Add Hulu to Spectrum TV Packages & Bring Back 5 Disney Cable TV Networks Including Disney Jr.

Most on here might recall that these channels have been absent from Spectrum’s lineup since the end of August and beginning of September 2023, after a spat between Spectrum and Disney cost subscribers all Disney-owned channels, including ABC O&Os.

 
Disney Jr, Disney XD, Freeform, FXX, FXM, Nat Geo Wild, Nat Geo Mundo, and BabyTV.

That’s interesting to see some of Disney’s cable channels getting a new carriage agreement with Spectrum even though Disney itself is mainly promoting Hulu and Disney+ to get more viewers over to those apps. They have to be some of the least watched channels among Disney owned cable networks compared to the most watched Disney owned places like local ABC affiliates , FX, ESPN. Even Disney+ is beating up Disney Channel in a 2024 study showing how Disney Channel used to have 1.96 million in 2014 to 132k viewers in 2023.



Without favorites like “The Walking Dead” or “Better Call Saul,” AMC’s prime-time viewership sunk 73%. The Disney Channel, birthplace to young stars like Miley Cyrus, Hilary Duff and Selena Gomez, lost an astonishing 93% of its audience, from 1.96 million in 2014 to 132,000 last year.
 
I was surprised that Freeform was dropped truth be told I thought that would've made it when they wanted to trim the Disney networks on Spectrum. Yeah, I don't get adding Disney XD or Disney JR.
