Astral has launched Playhouse Disney Télé on Videotron. The Disney outlet will be offered free of charge for three months, with Disney programs also made available on illico on Demand, illico web and illico mobile.

Playhouse Disney Télé will transform to Disney Junior in May, and will offer classic and contemporary Disney series as well as home-grown offerings.

“It is fantastic to be launching Playhouse Disney Télé on Videotron, making the network and its unique programming accessible to even more Francophone families,” said Joe Tedesco, SVP and GM, Family and Playhouse Disney. “With its strong lineup of programming, Playhouse Disney Télé broadcasts acclaimed Disney series as well as high-profile Canadian titles. I’m confident that audiences will be delighted with the network, both under its current name of Playhouse Disney Télé and as Disney Junior.”
