How does the Disney Channel make money without showing commercials?

are you kidding, it's disney!!!! They advertise their own stuff cause it always sells & makes millions

Disney is like a monopoly. I mean, come on, they own ABC too! But, it's all good...

Well With the disney channel games they get the text fees and with High School Musical Concert or Cheetah girls concerts. They also get money from their sponsers, which is Cereal companies. They earn money from people buying their DVDS and CDs. They do sneak in those sponsers thing if you pay attention . . .

The Disney Channel is one of their non-commercial stations where they show their own programming and promos for their upcoming movies and other products. They make their money off their other holdings which are quite extensive. So they can afford to show programming without commercials on this one channel. Here is a list of part of their holdings: ABC TV Network, ABC Family, ESPN, Disney Channel, Soapnet, Touchstone Television, Buena Vista Television, Buena Vista Games, Disney Publishing, Touchstone Pictures, Miramax, Buena Vista Theatrical, Disney Cruise Line, Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, Disney Hong Kong and 72 radio stations. Their 2006 revenues was $34.3 Billion Dollars.

Buena Vista Studios is part of a huge conglomerate.

they do play commercials for like the big movies they play and stuff.

well, disney chanel is from the whole big disney comony, so they get there money from the disney land/disney world place. and from disney stuff at stores etc.

Maybe kids come across the Disney Channel and like it and then they just remember the channel and keep watching the shows/movies...There are LOTS of kids in the world..
