[edit] Television
On cable, after Disney Channel showed Disney's The Kid only once on Saturday, August 9, 2003; it took 4 years for the film to have its next cable airing. It aired on Hallmark Channel on Saturday, March 31, 2007 and has been aired on Disney Channel's sister station, ABC Family on Sunday, November 4, 2007. This makes Disney's The Kid one of Disney Channel's longest preempted films in network history. On June 23, 2008, Disney Channel, which hasn't aired Disney's The Kid as of 2008, would have had a 2nd airing, but was preempted like Little Secrets and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants were. But in a seminar held on July 11, 2008, it was announced that Disney Channel will air Disney's The Kid for the second time, and possibly, the third. In 2008, they started to show it on Disney Cinemagic, but the Encore channels have played the movie several times. However, Disney Channel Asia continues to show the film occasionally. Hallmark Movie Channel currently airs the movie.
