After Disney XD successfully launched on February 13, 2009 in the US, the Disney-ABC Television Group re-branded Jetix France to Disney XD on April 1, 2009 and it was expected to be rolled out to other European territories in 2009.[2][3] Recently, however, Disney announced that the Jetix channel in certain countries (namely Hungary, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Bulgaria) will be renamed to The Disney Channel, marking that channel's first introduction in these countries. The change happened at September 19, 2009.[4] Disney Channel Romania & Bulgaria broadcast as a single video feed with two audio channels.
The current Disney Channel has Serbian subtitles, it is also possible that the Disney Channel will be made available in Serbia as well.
Jetix Central and Eastern Europe was re branded as The Disney Channel from the 19th September 2009 according to a run of advertisements on the channel announcing the change.
Jetix Russia was based on Jetix (Central and Eastern Europe), but all things related to Disney were automatically replaced with Jetix promos[5],. Certain shows which then did not air on the regular Jetix CEE (W.I.T.C.H., Iggy Arbuckle) were part of the hour-and-a-half long programming block that replaced the Disney block. When Jetix CEE was changed to Disney Channel CEE, the Russian language transmission ceased. Jetix Russia, now as a separate channel, continues to exist for the time being. On August 10, 2010 Jetix Russia was replaced by Disney Channel Russia
