Comcast and Disney announced a carriage deal allowing the cable operator to transmit live and on-demand Disney programming on multiple platforms -- including desktop, laptop and tablet computers and smartphones -- through at least 2020.
The programming includes ESPN and ABC and the new Disney Junior, a "24-hour basic channel for preschool-age children, parents and caregivers," writes Peter Key.
