History

Disney Channel Turkey began broadcasting in 2007 with the addition of a Turkish audio track to the Disney Channel EMEA feed. It was originally based in London, UK, but after the launch of an independent feed in 2012, its headquarters were moved to Istanbul, Turkey.

Free-to-air broadcasting

On 2011, Disney announced that a fully local Turkish feed of Disney Channel would be launched as a free-to-air channel. It was the third Disney Channel to go FTA, after Disney Channel Spain (2008) and Disney Channel Russia (2011).

On 21 December 2011, Disney launched a test feed of the FTA Disney Channel that only aired promos and not any commercials or shows.

On January 2012, Disney officially launched the FTA version of Disney Channel on Türksat. The Pan-European feed at Digiturk was replaced by the Turkish feed and the channel started to be carried on D-Smart and Teledünya.

On 16 June 2014, Disney Channel got a new look and logo as part of Disney's worldwide rebrand.
