Disney's general entertainment channel abc1 has secured carriage on Telewest's digital TV service.
The station, which airs between 6am and 6pm daily, has only been available through DTT service Freeview since launch in September.
abc1 will form part of the cable operator's starter pack on channel 161 from this Friday (December 10).
"ABC1 has performed well ahead of even our most stretching goals," Simon Bailey, deputy managing director of Disney Television for UK and Ireland, told C21. "This is the beginning of the next phase of ABC1’s evolution and continues Disney Television UK’s good relationship with Telewest Broadband."
The broadcaster is currently negotiating for carriage on Sky.
