Disney Announces First Pan-European Content Deal

Disney Channel has signed a content distribution deal with Orange, which is being touted as its "first pan- European deal to provide content to mobile phones". Orange will show the content in the UK, Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal, Poland, Holland, Romania, Slovakia and eventually France. It seems to be focused on a 3G mobile TV service since it's mentioned that Orange has 2.9 million customers that can view the content. "The service will consist of 65 to 120 minute programming loops featuring some of the most popular Disney Channel content, including full 22-minute episodes of key, live-action programming franchises That's So Raven and The Suite Life of Zack & Cody and animated hits like Kim Possible and Disney's Recess . In addition, consumers will be able to watch clips from Hannah Montana and a selection of Disney Channel Original Movies."

The press release has no mention of the price.
