Disney Channel Russia is a television channel owned by The Walt Disney Company, which began broadcast in Russia and other CIS countries. It replaced Jetix.

While Disney previously planned to launch Disney Channel Russia as an over-the-air service in 2009, their deal with a Russian media company was rejected by Russian authorities. Disney Channel is available as a cable and satellite channel, and is made available via the regular operators (such as NTV Plus). A registration request was filed in 2010 with the Russian media authority Roscomnadzor.^[1] On March 9, 2010 the Russian TV authority granted Walt Disney Company CIS a cable television broadcasting license (#15922). Later it was announced that the change will happen on August 10, 2010.^{[2][3][4][5][6]}

Disney Channel Russia replaced Jetix Russia, making it the last Jetix-branded channel in the world to close. Unlike many other Disney Channels in Europe, which broadcast a single video feed with several language tracks, this version is custom-made for Russia. For example, the Playhouse Disney block (to be renamed Disney Junior in 2012) is known on screen by its Russian title (from Russian TV Channel 1) Узнавайка. Other titles and logos are translated and adapted as well.
