History
In December 2004, The Walt Disney Company launched two television channels in India—Disney Channel and Toon Disney—as a part of an effort to expand their presence in the South Asian market. Both channels broadcast in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. Toon Disney started with English, Tamil and Telugu and gained a Hindi-language audio track on 1 September 2005. Toon Disney carried the Jetix programming block in India. Among all children's television channels in India, Toon Disney had the lowest number of local programming.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Super Hungama”, the useful work is to connect “indian pay television channel centred towards kids” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Reception evidence should be dated and situated: later canonical status may differ sharply from the work’s initial circulation. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q20715648. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2004, 2009, 2019 and 2022.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
