Sort of related to the theme here: Disney is to close more TV channels in South Asia and Korea.

Disney is to close its six remaining linear TV channels in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea as the conglomerate puts a greater emphasis on direct-to-consumer streaming.

The channels concerned are National Geographic, National Geographic Wild, Star Chinese Movies, Star Chinese Channel, Star Movies and Star World. Linear services will end from September in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong and Korea, and by December in Taiwan.

The group expects to retain a streamlined television portfolio with channels in Japan, China, Australia and New Zealand for the time being.
