March 16 launch for Disney movie channel

Disney's new premium movie channel 'Cinemagic' will launch on March 16, Digital Spy can confirm.

The new 24-hour station, a bonus for subscribers of Sky's premium movie channels, will offer titles from the broadcaster's extensive film library such as The Incredibles, Toy Story and Lady and the Tramp.

The launch of Cinemagic will coincide with the closure of Toon Disney and the switch of The Disney Channel and Playhouse Disney to the basic packages in order to double their reach.
