Jetix Europe and Walt Disney Get Together on EMEA Distribution

Jetix Europe has signed an agreement with an affiliate of its majority shareholder, The Walt Disney Company, for the distribution of its channels and digital content across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). 

The move, effective July 1, 2008, means that the distribution of Jetix channels in the region will be serviced by Disney-ABC International Television's newly integrated TV distribution business.

Disney-ABC International Television already services program sales for Jetix content to free-to-air broadcasters globally, including Disney Channel, Disney Cinemagic, Playhouse Disney, Toon Disney, as well as the successful sports services ESPN Classic and NASN. 

The deal covers all platforms including cable and satellite as well as digital services such as IPTV and PPV.
