These concert specials usually lasted about an hour. They aired on Fridays, and you could often catch reruns later on Disney Channel.
Why Did the Show End?
Disney Channel stopped airing In Concert in late 2001. They also stopped showing many music videos. One reason was that Disney couldn't get a share of the money from the artists' CD sales. Also, they didn't have special rights to show the music videos.
However, Disney Channel still showed music videos from songs in Disney movies. They also played songs by artists from Radio Disney and those signed to Disney's own music companies, like Hollywood Records and Walt Disney Records.
