JANET JACKSON ON AMERICAN IDOL
She was on the Season 9 Finale last night and I haven’t been this excited since Prince was on the 2006 Season 5 Finale.

Disney/ABC Television Group announced it will launch Disney Junior, a new multi-platform brand and 24-hour basic cable/satellite channel targeting preschool children in the US by 2012. The new channel will take the place of SOAPnet in the US, reaching 75 million homes. Anne Sweeney, Co-Chair, Disney Media Networks and President, Disney/ABC Television Group said in a press statement that it was not an easy decision to transition SOAPnet out to usher in the new preschool-targeted channel. “The launch of Disney Junior in the U.S. is the next step in our global preschool strategy, which began 10 years ago with the premiere of our first dedicated preschool channel in the UK. The decision to ultimately transition SOAPnet to accomplish this was not arrived at lightly,” said Sweeney. “SOAPnet was created in 2000 to give daytime viewers the ability to watch time-shifted soaps, before multiplatform viewing and DVRs were part of our vocabulary. But today, as technology and our businesses evolve, it makes more sense to align this distribution with a preschool channel that builds on the core strengths of our company.”
