Disney Channel series launch online in Germany

January 12, 2009 by Emily Claire Afan

Thanks to a new agreement between Disney-ABC-ESPN Television and Videoload, more than 20 Disney Channel and Playhouse Disney series are making their debut on the German company’s online video library service at www.Videoload.de starting tomorrow.

Series include Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverly Place, Handy Manny and and My Friends Tigger & Pooh, to name a few, and viewers will have the chance to watch episodes they’ve missed. The deal also extends the agreement between the two companies’ existing transactional VOD movie rental agreements, allowing Videoload to offer selected library movies via subscription VOD.

Current episodes can be viewed for US$1.98 apiece and are available for users to watch as often as they like within 24 hours of purchase. T-Home Entertain subscribers can also access the full program library via their TV set.
