Disney XD is a brand of children's TV channels owned by The Walt Disney Company. Since its American debut on February 13, 2009,[1][2] the brand was launched in other markets. The channel was formerly known as Toon Disney or Jetix in most areas.
This article is currently slated for merging. After a discussion, consensus to merge this article into Disney Branded Television was found. You can help implement the merge by following the instructions at Help:Merging and the resolution on the discussion. |
Disney XD has considerably reduced its footprint in favor of those markets mainly being served by Disney+, with the network's remaining presence being the American, Canadian and Polish channels, with a Dutch time-share.
