Disney International Channel Closures Thread

[RegularCapital]

As far as I can see, no new Nat Geo content has been added to Disney+.

EDIT: Apparently just the following:

Breakthrough
Lawless Oceans
The Witch Doctor Will See You Now

That's about it.

Update: I've found another article about Xee's rebrand to See in Denmark, and the article suggests that it's not just simply Fox Networks Group that's stopped operating the channel—even YouSee is no longer co-running the channel, which is actually now solely operated by Nordic Entertainment Group (NENT).

Populær tv-kanal har skiftet navn

Den populære tv-kanal skifter ikke blot navn. Driften af tv-kanalen bliver nemlig også overtaget af Nent Group.

I'm pretty sure that Finland now has it's own local National Geographic now. Promos are in Finnish, text also included. Kind of makes sense since the channel is free-to-air here so make it as local as possible.

I'm not aware so correct me if I'm wrong but everything in ads is in Finnish.

It is its own feed indeed.

In the past, it used to be Nat Geo Norway+Finland.

Even small Estonia has its own feed

Every country has its own National Geographic national feed.

That's what I thought.

When I finally saw the Finnish text in promos, I was like wow, did we really get our own feed? I was happy about it and surprised.

Yeah I'm aware, I've been in Estonia every Summer and it's impressive that it actually gets it's own feed. At least Estonians get something on their own, a channel that is well known worldwide.

Not any country, but linguistic groups generally yes.
E.g. UK-Ireland, GAS, France-CH-Belgium etc.

I'm not informed about Latvia and Lithuania , I think they might get Estonia as the default feed, just as with Fox, if nothing has changed.

Edit: OK Latvia has its own feed too.

It was mentioned before, and it was just rumors. Currently, Virgin Media mentioned that the removal on the 29th of January will be for Nat Geo’s VOD content.

In Romania National Geographic continues to exist, in all analog, digital, and satellite signals.

And they're increasingly sounding possibly incorrect, somehow.

And they're increasingly sounding possibly incorrect, somehow.

The closure of FOX was announced a month and half in advance, and the closure of Disney Channel was announced three months in advance, so if there was any announcement we would've heard it by now.

However, it could be the case that they're still negotiating over a possible "pan-feed" with no VOD (although if it's true it seems very last minute to me), and Sky, Virgin or Disney can't say anything as neither party don't currently know the outcome.

I think some Disney networks might still close down in Eastern Europe and Africa, but that's it for now. 2021 is over. I think DC FR and DC BE will stay.

It's interesting to see that Disney was the least content with DC UK and DC IT out of all European DCs in Western Europe.

A shutdown in the USA, but not the way you are expecting it to be.

FOX Life USA, a Spanish-language channel, will shut down on March 31, the American Cable Television Cooperative reported. I would give you a link to the announcement but it's geoblocked here.

The channel started as an American feed of Utilísima, after that in 2013, with the launch of MundoFOX (it had separate feeds for the USA - as a terrestrial network - and Latin America - as a cable network), the channel was renamed FOX Life and was aesthetically linked to the Latin American feed.

No footage of the channel exists online due to its low reach, as it's limited mainly to Hispanics, and as is the case with most Spanish-language channels in the USA, sold as part of a separate package. In fact, the channel wasn't even measured in the 2021 ranking of cable networks - certainly it would have had less viewers than beIN Sports.

Disney XD, Nat Geo Wild, Nat Geo Kids, FX Movies and Star Life channels in Latin America will cease broadcasting on 31st March. Disney cesará transmisiones de los canales Disney XD, Nat Geo Wild, Nat Geo Kids, FX Movies y Star Life en Latinoamérica

That means we're gonna have only four Disney XD channels (USA, Canada, Poland and Netherlands). Sooner or later I knew this gonna happen.
