Disney Entertainment Television Programming Strategy Intern, Spring 2026

About the Role & Program:

The DET Strategy team is responsible for the planning and scheduling of hundreds of hours of premiere content per year. From linear television to Disney+, to Hulu and beyond, our team crafts the release strategies that connect our content with the biggest possible audiences across all platforms. We are the ultimate curators, platform strategists, and slate planners. Come join the fun! 

This internship is a full-time, six-month commitment in the New York, New York area from January 2026-June 2026.

What You Will Do:

For every piece of content, a lot of thought and effort is put behind how and when it is presented to an audience. Why is one show launching on one platform rather than another? Why was one specific release date chosen over another? Being a content strategist is a constant balancing act. A day in the life may include brainstorming new ideas for one of our various YouTube channels, or cross-checking information that listings providers send out. You may also work on checking competitors’ release strategies and reporting back, or screening potential acquisitions and giving feedback, or you may be helping us refine how we organize our inventory.
