ABC Family HD, Disney Channel HD, ESPNEWS HD and Toon Disney HD will join DirecTV’s lineup following an agreement between the direct-broadcast satellite provider and Disney and ESPN Media Networks.

ESPN’s 24-hour Spanish-language sports network, ESPN Deportes, will also join DirecTV’s Spanish-language lineup this month.

The launch date for ABC Family HD was not specified, but the programmer said the other three HD services would launch in early 2008.
