I think it was the only show that did this in the GMTV days (though it happens every weekday now with Lorraine, though it's virtually irrelevent and invisible these days unless you're watching STV).The Grand Prix coverage did it too, with GMTV given airtime later in the day in exchange
Well. probably the following week, not necessarily the same "day" as such.
There was at least one occasion where the Grand Prix coverage covered the whole 6-9:25 window and GMTV did not get on air at all that Sunday. Pretty much the whole of the following Sunday until about IIRC 11:30am was GMTV.
Disney Club only really straddled the GMTV handover in terms of name; it would probably have had an enforced "break" leading up to 9:25, but since the actual handover was seamless on viewing (never mind what VHS recordings on YouTube will tell you otherwise), most probably didn't even notice (or probably care for that matter).
