Disney Channel is launching a staggercast version of Playhouse Disney that will repeat programmes after 25 minutes. The new channel will launch on October 30, combining preschoolers love of repetition, with an ever-decreasing attention span.

Playhouse Disney+ has secured capacity on Sky Digital and will be included as part of the Kids Mix basic package. The channel will have a position in the EPG adjacent to its sister channel as part of a reshuffle of the Disney services that also gives priority to Disney Channel, over Disney Cinemagic, which moves further down the guide.

This is a stupider idea than the time I married that goat.

And here's my thinking the attention span of today's youngsters was shorter than that!!!

Nothing to do with grabbing EPG spaces with nothing to put on them then

Hmm, 'staggercast'.

With a name that great, it just has to be a good thing, right?

I wonder if the rules of physics stop ordinary people making up stupid and aggravating names for things?

My vote's with laggingbehindovision.

Wonder if it'll catch on?
