What Channel Is Disney Junior on DIRECTV?
Disney Junior (now branded Disney Jr.) is on DIRECTV channel 289, and it's included in every DIRECTV Signature package: ENTERTAINMENT, CHOICE, ULTIMATE and PREMIER. It's also part of DIRECTV's MyKids Genre Pack, so families who mostly watch kids' TV can get it without a full Signature package.
Disney Channel is right next door on 290, and Disney XD is on 292, so all three Disney kids networks sit together in the guide.

How to find Disney Junior on your DIRECTV guide
Type 2-8-9 on your remote to jump straight to Disney Jr. On a Genie or DIRECTV Gemini device, you can say "Disney Junior" or a show name such as "Bluey" into the voice remote. The channel number is the same on DIRECTV via internet. Our DIRECTV Gemini guide covers setup and voice search.
If your kids watch the same show every morning, set a series recording from the guide so new episodes save automatically. Parental controls in the DIRECTV settings menu let you lock channels or ratings you don't want little ones to reach.
