It is the DR’s ‘Troldspejlet’-host Jakob Stegelmann, who through all the years has been responsible for getting the important agreement in the house, and he can now reveal to it again this year is ended, as in the DR had hoped for.
the Agreement with Disney in the UNITED states, who have just launched their own streaming service (Disney+) run only for one year.
– We only make contracts for a year at a time. It is something we in the DR have chosen. Now a days the tv universe is very changeable, while tv consumption is falling. So the assessment has been that it – like other programs – is best to only take a single year at a time, says Jakob Stegelmann to Ekstra Bladet.

– What about ‘Disney’s christmas show’, it has also be mixed into these negotiations?
– Yes, it is. The agreements also for a year at a time, so it is also ensured in 2020.
– What can you say about the negotiations, which many have thought may be become more difficult in light of the fact that Disney now even has entered the streaming market?
– I can not tell specifically about the negotiations. It writes in on. But it has actually been quite quiet and calm. We came with a paper, and we were then agreed.
The popular formula are, however, not changed.
– It will be the usual structure with two new series and two classic. It’s going to look like themselves completely, says Jakob Stegelmann, who has just now sit and select which series that should be included in the new years ‘Disney Fun’.

That Friday rhymes with candy in the Danish families, may be marked directly on the earnings of the many Danish mix-even-slikbutikker.
It tells the Balsam Al-Khafaji, who has been in the industry since 1999 and for daily langer candy over the counter at NamNam Candy in Valby.
– 50 to 60 percent of my earnings I make on Fridays. 30 percent, I sell on Saturdays, and the rest of the week I call ‘overlevelsesdage’, says Al-Khafaji to Ekstra Bladet.
He believes, however, that it is only because of the ‘Disney Fun’, to be eaten heavy amounts of sweets on a Friday.
– I mean, really, it’s more the other way around. Understood in the way that it has always been on Fridays, enjoying the candy. It is probably why the DR has put it there. They have adapted their programming in relation to the fixed tradition of eating candy.
