Disney+ has announced a new 24/7 streaming channel for premium subscribers that will have a focus on content from their Star Wars and Marvel brands – called “Hits and Heroes.”
Disney+ has announced, via Bloomberg, that it will introduce four new “always on” live streaming channels later this year.
The official channel names are Real Life (documentaries and biopics), Hallowstream, Throwbacks (nostalgic content), and — the one that will likely garner the most interest — Hits and Heroes. The Hits and Heroes channel will include a wide variety of action-oriented movies and shows from Disney itself, plus two of its flagship brands: Star Wars and Marvel.
These channels will be available to Premium (no-advertisement tier) subscribers. Their content will be refreshed on a monthly basis.
Disney+ have already in place a news 24/7 streaming channel from ABC News and a kids service from Disney Juniors.
