> HBO doesn't feel like "extra" because it's always been an optional add-on that costs more. Disney Channel used to be a premium, ad-free channel.

  And they didn't have enough subscribers to justify that model. I wonder what they think has changed. Maybe on demand Disney movies are valuable enough to enough parents to justify this?

    I bet star wars changed this.

      Marvel and Star Wars both.

        Plus Pixar and ABC (with Shonda Rhimes' shows) and every movie and show they've ever released since they stopped being a premium channel. Disney has managed to get a lock on a lot of very hot property.

  I'm fairly certain that it's still ad-free.
