Disney Classics

Disney twenty-three is an upcoming American digital cable and satellite television network that is owned by the Disney Channels Worldwide division of Disney-ABC Television Group, a wholly-owned division of The Walt Disney Company. Aimed mainly at family audiences, its programming consists of original first-run documentary and scripted television series, theatrically released movies, and reruns of classic television series from the company's television library.

Dubbed by many news agencies as a cross between the Hallmark Channel and Turner Classic Movies, the network takes its name from Disney twenty-three magazine, a publication run by The Walt Disney Company's official fan club, Disney D23. The channel is set to launch on June 17, 2018 in honor of Disney's 95th anniversary, replacing ESPN Classic.
