- Disney is closing 18 of its cable channels in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong from October. The company said the move is part of a global pivot, as it continues to grow its streaming services and move towards a direct-to-consumer-first model. The media giant declined to comment on how many staff will be affected, but CNA understands it could be more than 200.

this is literal bullshit this was my childhood
ikr
crap...the only reason I have cable here in the Philippines is because of F1 & Premier Football channel. If Fox Sports goes...oh no.
Terrible idea. I'm from the Philippines, where Disney+ is UNAVAILABLE!
Will Coming Soon As Disney+ Hotstar In Philippines this Year
You’ll
Have to wait till next year to get Disney plus .:(
Its 100% a let down someone did made a change org recently
even if it is most people aren't willing to pay for Disney +
ITS HERE SINCE NOVEMBER 17 2022, THURSDAY!!!!
Im so disappointed with DISNEY. You don’t know how much it affects us fans here in the philippines. The only reason why i have cable TV because of your channels especially FOX LIFE. we don’t have DISNEY+ yet here and there is no news that we will be having yet. I hope you succeed with your strategies.
True
agree, this is bullshit!! i have many memories on that channel and also the fox movies why???
Yeaahh same
@@eliteonline7674 like Mr.crab many time said
*Money*
They will bring disney+hotstar to your country later this year but my country won't get it I'm sti kinda sad. And cable TV will never be the same again
Sounds like the 2020s is the beginning of the end, well, it is.
Nooo. Not Fox Sport Asia.. Why Disney why?
Money
I would use Disney+ but don't force people to it by shutting down cable TV. Cable is still popular in Asia and low-income families depend on it for entertainment. With this our cable subscription has become pretty much useless as the only time it's used is watching 80% Disney affiliate channels primarily Fox, Fox Movies, Fox Sports, and National Geographic. HBO out there having their own subscription service but they didn't shut down lmao.
@ExtreamEarth90X our tv is useless right now cause my father only uses it to watch tennis which is in Fox sports
Disney ceases 18 cable channels in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong in 2021: FOX Movies, FOX Family Movies, FOX Action Movies, FOX, FX, FOX Life, FOX Crime, Channel V, STAR Legend Movies, FOX Sports, FOX Sports 2, FOX Sports 3, Nat Geo People, Disney Channel, and Disney Junior. 2 years in 2023, Disney will also cease 9 channels in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan: National Geographic, Nat Geo Wild, and Baby TV by September 30; STAR Chinese Channel, STAR Chinese Movies, STAR Entertainment Channel Taiwan, STAR Movies HD Taiwan, STAR Movies Gold Taiwan, and STAR World Taiwan by December 31 for the shift to Disney+.
In the Philippines, Disney Channel is replaced by DreamWorks Channel on Cignal and SKY.
In the Philippines the cable channel Disney Channel transforms into an internet streaming platform service subscription called Disney Plus and Disney Plus in the Philippines will begin in Novemver 17, 2022
It's of end of an era, Disney Channels in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong will be go off air by 1 October 2021 and focusing launch of Disney+ in the rest of Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Taiwan and also that a global ESPN website for latest in sports happenings.
Now I know that. Changing landscape of Television and the rise of Video on Demand streaming services.
Oh great,Disney is craving for money

Good decision. Cable TV will die out in a few years
@@devsda1 if they won't close, no one will subscribe to Disney plus when it is launched.
Also, I think Disney plus is already available in Asia by the name of Hotstar. Is Hotstar not available for your region?
@@piyushchamoli1066 Hotstar is in Indonesia only. Not all Southeast Asian markets have Disney+ yet they’re shutting down their channels faster than the Disney+ rollout
Eh nope
@@christiananasco8937 Hotstar is Disney plus. They didn't rename it to Disney plus because of brand recognition of the name “Hotstar” and what the hell are you talking about Hotstar is available in Indian subcontinent. And south east Asia too.
@@piyushchamoli1066 hotstar and disney+ are 2 completely different services but they are owned by 1 company, Only Singapore is getting ACTUAL Disney+
