Disney Channel is a popular TV channel in Belgium. It's like the Belgian version of the famous American Disney Channel. The channel is owned by The Walt Disney Company, which is a huge entertainment company.
Disney Channel first started in a part of Belgium called Flanders on November 1, 2009. At first, it was part of the Dutch Disney Channel. But in 2012, the Flemish channel became its own separate channel.
For the French-speaking part of Belgium, people used to watch Disney Channel France. However, on June 29, 2015, a special Disney Channel just for French-speaking Belgians was launched.
Today, both the Flemish (Dutch) and French versions of Disney Channel in Belgium show the same programs. The only difference is that they have their own commercials!
