Disney needs to create a classic Disney channel and play all of their old, good stuff. The stuff they used to play on the regular Disney Channel when it first launched before it was hijacked by money-grubbing executives and turned into a pre-teen channel.
shareAgreed.

Agreed
We finally got it! It's the Disney Plus channel that you can buy on your ROKU for $6.99 a month. It includes episodes of Walt Disney Presents, endless amounts of classic disney movies like The Cat from Outer Space and classic Mickey Mouse cartoons too and episodes of Wonderful World of Color; it also contains more current stuff as well. It was a present from my husband and I insanely love it!!!
sharef.... before it was hijacked by money-grubbing executives and turned into a pre-teen channel.

Um, who cares if today's kids wouldn't watch. Almost all of them live in a home with adults, and I don't think adults love the pre-teeny stuff so much that they wouldn't enjoy watching some classics. When The Disney Channel began, it aired lots of their television classics (and some non-Disney classics slotted at night), and that programming appealed to families, not only kids. As for money-grubbing, who's paying the bills for all those trips to theme parks, cruises, princess parties, and media purchases? It surely isn't kids.
Other networks have split programming, such as Nick at Night and Adult Swim. They seem to be successful. The Disney Empire ought to have a nook or cranny where they could run vintage material without going broke.
A lot of their oldies have turned up on Netflix and Amazon Prime, so someone's apparently found this profitable. If only the company would let some of their other films out of the vault, I know a lot of dog and horse owners who want to see them...and, why are so many dog and horse films trapped there? Trickling them out in limited-time releases is like asking the fans to pay ransom.
if you go through enough doors, sooner or later you're gonna find a dog on the other side.~🐕
I think they could fill quite a bit of time. Rotate things monthly. Multiple showings for programs during its month in rotation. Could take a while to go through the catalog. Throw in some documentaries and interviews for original content as well.
shareThey could start a channel based on the old television program. "Wonderful world of Disney" Or "Wonderful world of color". I grew up watching these programs and they were always great.

There has to be a demand for it. I'd love to see a classic Di$ney channel but they're marketing department has a chokehold on the teen/tween market and they're going to continue to exploit that.
When theres no more room in Hollywood, remakes shall walk the Earth.share
Yes, yes, yes!!
And also include episodes from "Disneyland", and the Mickey Mouse club
Would love to see Spin and Marty, White shadow, et al
