Turkey to get Disney free-to-air TV
By Matthew Garrahan in Los Angeles
Walt Disney is launching The Disney Channel on free-to-air television in Turkey in a move that will increase the channel’s distribution to more than 100m homes across Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
The Disney Channel is typically limited to pay-TV services but in 2008 the company launched a free-to-air service in Spain. Turkey is the second market chosen by Disney for free-to-air distribution and by using the Free Sat platform the company will have access to 60 per cent of homes in the country from January 2012.
