The air's a little chillier, the leaves have started changing, and everyone's decorations are getting nice and spooky. You know what that means, right? It's time... to start thinking about Christmas! Freeform just announced their month-long block of Christmas movies they'll be airing all throughout the month of November (aka Christmas: Origins). We've got bonafide classics like Home Alone, Disney-blessed "seasonal gifts" like Frozen, and, um, The Hunger Games franchise. What do you think Peeta got Katniss for Christmas? A new bow?

When Pretty Little Liars premiered on ABC Family in the summer of 2010, teen television had only just finished (to adopt a possibly labored metaphor) memorizing its freshman year locker combo.

As Disney prepares to launch its own streaming service this fall, the Mouse House is taking steps to keep its largest competitor—Netflix—at arms length. The Wall Street Journal reported today that Disney has decided it will no longer accept ads from Netflix on its entertainment networks, which includes ABC and Freeform and newly acquired Fox properties like FX and Hulu. "The direct-to-consumer business has evolved, with many more entrants looking to advertise in traditional television, and across our portfolio of networks," a Disney spokesperson said in a statement.

Corporate synergy between Disney and the recently acquired 20th Century Fox is already having an effect on the television side of things. FX Networks—which is now owned by Disney—recently picked up off-network rights to the Fox animated comedies Family Guy and Bob’s Burgers, and the off-network rights to Bob’s Burgers will be shared between FXX and the Disney-owned Freeform. The deal only encompasses newer seasons of both shows, as Turner Broadcasting Network’s TBS and Adult Swim still hold the off-network rights to reruns of earlier seasons of Family Guy and Bob’…
