Since 1983, Disney Channel has been releasing Original Movies. In 1983, they were first known as Disney Premieres. In 1997, Disney became a basic cable channel rather than a premium cable channel. The movies changed from Disney Premiers to Disney Channel Original Movies (DCOMS). They introduced “Zoog Disney” for pre-teens and teens. In 2002, the “Zoog Disney” campaign was dropped.
