For those curious, it looks like this is listed as "The Walt Disney Company" under the list of "cable providers" on Freeform. It redirects to Disney's corporate employee single-sign-on page.
It appears to support ESPN as well. (Of course, I'm not an employee of the WDC so I can't verify that it actually works, but "The Walt Disney Company" does appear in their list of cable providers)
Thanks for the pointer @dbloom
I've added this to our latest DVR pre-release build v2019.08.26.1730. I obviously don't have a Disney corporate login so I wasn't able to verify if it works.

It works for ESPN as well, forgot to mention because I'm not a big sports guy

Try again with the latest build.
It failed with the same error, but now there was something on the logs:
2019/08/26 18:52:46 [TVE] Auth starting for WatchABC as vinht001
2019/08/26 18:52:46 [TVE] Auth failed for WatchABC: login not supported
Same here.
Try the latest build.
Getting further. Now it shows the company login window with the error: encountered exception 'Uncaught' (89:43)

OMG @tmm1 !!!! IT WORKS!!!
Damn, you're awesome! When posted the question yesterday I didn't really think you would go and work on it right away. You had this thing working in less than 24h and now I have access to all Disney-owned channels. Thanks A LOT!!!! Will renew my Channels subscription right away.

How do I get access to this pre release software? I have the iOS beta but I don't have the pre release on the actual DVR server accessed through the web.
Click and hold the Check For Update button.

I am new to Channels and just signed up after I saw this since I am also a Disney employee. We get access to FX networks and ABC as well but I do not see them listed. I also have an account for CBS All Access. I was really hoping that this would be a way for me to not have to app-swap. Is it possible to use Channels in this way?
ABC: We don't support local channels via our TVE feature.
CBS: All-access is a separate CBS product and doesn't work with our TVE code.
FX: I went to https://fxnow.fxnetworks.com/watch-live/ and do see the Walt Disney option there. Will check out why its not working in the DVR.
For FX/NGC, update to the latest DVR build in approximately 20 minutes. On the DVR web UI, click-and-hold the Check For Update button. After that, click pencil icon under Walt Disney then Edit at the top right, scroll down to FX and click rescan.
