- Radio Disney nurtured careers of Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez
- The company’s sole remaining station will be sold next year
Walt Disney Co. is closing its more than two-decade-old Radio Disney network, a casualty of the company’s growing focus on TV and video streaming.
The network, which aired children’s programming, has been operated by the Disney Channel division. About 36 full- and part-time workers were told Thursday of the decision, which takes effect in the first quarter of 2021.
