The Walt Disney Company (TWDC) on Tuesday said it has signed a multi-year deal with Sun Distribution Services (SDS) for allocating its channels in India.

SDS is a division of Kal Comm, part of Sun Network Group.

As per the agreement, SDS will distribute Disney Channel, Disney XD and Hungama TV, across multiple platforms including cable TV, Direct-to-Home (DTH) and IPTV, TWDC said in a statement.
