MUMBAI: There is no word still on when Disney will make its India debut but there is action happening elsewhere in Asia.

Preschool educational 'Playhouse Disney Channel' is next on Disney's agenda on the Asia front. This expansion into Asia takes place on 15 May on Singapore's StarHub CableTV platform.

Having started life as a branded block on the Disney Channel and on the same platform, the full Playhouse service will be commercial-free and will be aimed at kids in the range of 2-5, broadcasting in English with a Chinese option.

Following the launch of the new premium service, the Disney Channel will drop from StarHub's enhanced tier into the basic tier in June. Playhouse Disney launched in Hong Kong and Indonesia last month and plans to roll the network further into Asia this year.
