The Disney Channel first joined the channels on Cable Television in April 1983. It was founded as a part of the Walt Disney Company's growing empire of properties-- they owned theme parks, a production company, movie studios, a record company that put out children's records, a radio network, etc. The Disney Channel was created to broadcast family-friendly (and children-friendly) programs, providing another venue for the shows and the artists who worked for the Disney Company to be seen. Walt Disney himself died in 1966, but his family members carried on his vision of using as many different technologies as possible to entertain young viewers and listeners.
