Disney Channel is a TV channel that shows fun programs for kids and families. It is owned by The Walt Disney Company. This channel broadcasts in many countries. These include countries that used to be part of Yugoslavia, like Serbia and Croatia. It also broadcasts in Albania, Greece, the Middle East, and Africa.

The channel first started on April 2, 1997. At first, it was only for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. It took the place of the Asian Disney Channel in that area. Later, starting in 2005, Disney Channel began to be available in more countries. It used to be seen in Poland and Turkey. But those countries now have their own special Disney Channels.
