Although their other Russian channels closed on October 14 due to the Ukraine invasion, Disney Channel in Russia continued to broadcast well after the war broke out. However, Disney also said it wouldn’t renew its licensing agreement with UTH Media, the broadcast group which partnered with Disney to move the channel to FTA broadcasting, displacing Semyorka on New Year’s Day 2011. From Wednesday, the channel will be renamed Sun TV (Solntse) and will refocus as a family-oriented channel with emphasis on local productions and well-known Russian and Soviet cartoons and family series.
