Disney Channel is a 24-hour family entertainment channel available in Sub-Saharan Africa since September 25, 2006. It currently has two sister channels; Disney XD (channel 304) and Disney Junior (channel 309), though a Disney Junior block runs from 06:45 GMT/08:45 CAT, every weekday morning. It adapted the logos used by Disney Channel UK since it launched until late 2010 when it adapted the current 'smartphone logo' used by Disney Channel USA. The channel also airs in the Middle East as "Disney Channel Middle East" . The channel airs in this region without African Adverts or Disney merchandize promos but local shows like I love Violetta & Cookabout air in all regions. The channel also airs in former Yugoslavia with Serbo-Croatian subtitles.
