Disney/ABC Cable Networks have announced their plans to create a 24-hour cable network featuring animation. Toon Disney, as the channel will be known, will be aimed at children aged 2 to 11 (many of whom, presumably, keep late hours), and will showcase the company's library of television programming, rather than feature-length Disney films.

The channel will launch in April and will be offered to cable operators which already carry the 14-year-old Disney Channel.
