Hanging With is an Australian children's television series which aired on Disney Channel from 2013 to 2019.

Contents

It premiered on 15 July 2013 as a short-form series dispersed between programs. The variety entertainment series would air at 4:30pm (AEST) weekdays with hosts who act as the faces of Disney Channel. The hosts presented Disney programming news, along with celebrity interviews, sketches, and other segments including crafts, games, quizzes and challenges. The hosts also produced factual field stories filmed outside of the studio. Its final hosts were Ashleigh Wells and Tim Matthews, along with supporting presenters Siena Elchaar, Joel Maguire and Ella Victoria.

The program typically aired for 36 weeks of the year, with regular breaks throughout. [1] The final episode aired on 20 September 2019, ahead of the closure of the network in 2020.

History

The show was originally formatted as a short-form series titled Hanging with Adam & Naomi, and was hosted by Adam Roberts with Naomi Sequeira, who had together previously presented the ASTRA-nominated program Backstage Pass and other Disney Channel interstitials. [2] [3] Sequeira departed the program in 2015 and was replaced by Ashleigh Wells, who had previously worked on the channel. The series was renamed to Hanging with Adam & Ash accordingly.

Beginning 13 February 2017, the short-form series was expanded to a new runtime of 30 minutes, and retitled Hanging With. Roberts and Wells continued as the primary hosts, being joined by various other Disney Channel personalities. [4] Additional presenters included Ella Victoria (The Style Edit), Grace Pitts and Joel Maguire (Radio Disney Insider), Emma Graham and Jackson Ryan (Gamefest), Siena Elchaar, Chantel Cofie and Milly Alcock (B.F. Chefs), and Georgia-May Davis (Backstage Pass). [5] [6] [7] In November 2017, Hanging With returned to its original short-form format but retained the additional presenters.

An additional 30-minute weekly episode, titled Hanging With: Weekend Hangout, aired from January 2018 to April 2019. [8] This special episode aired on Saturdays and presented the highlights of the week's segments. [8]

Ahead of the closure of Disney Channel in early 2020, Hanging With aired its final episode on 20 September 2019.
