On 1 January 2021, Disney Channel and Disney Junior ceased transmission in Malaysia on Astro due to the TV provider's Refreshed Kids Pack,[57][58] and the preparation of the launch of Disney+ Hotstar in the country.

Presentation and logos

With the launch of the channel in 2000, Disney Channel Asia began to use the "Circles" presentation package,[13][72] until the end of April 2003, when the US logo (and design package by CA Square) as the "Bounce" graphics,[73] it became the channel's on-air presentation format, then later rebranded using the "Ribbon" graphics from 2007 until 2011.
