The in-room cable television channel line-up was expanded across all of the World Disney World resort hotels, and Port Orleans was the first to get the new services on Tuesday 13 March 2012. The other hotels followed over the next couple of months.
Guests received a letter in their rooms the night before the change telling them that sometime between 10am and 3pm there would be a brief television outage of roughly 15 minutes, and after that time the new channels would be available.
The latest list of channels is given below, including retained local affiliate channels (ABC, NBC, etc.) and Walt Disney World special channels. TV channel 3 now contains the full TV Guide with program details.
