Disney XD is an American digital cable and satellite television network. It is owned by Disney and ABC. It started on the Internet in 2008 and began broadcasting as a television network in 2009. Disney XD mostly airs action-oriented children's animated television series, with some live-action programming and movies aimed at ages 6 to 11.
Disney XD broadcasts programming that is created for the network. The original programming includes Zeke and Luther, Kickin' It, Pair of Kings and Lab Rats. The network broadcasts some of the more popular Disney Channel series. These series include The Suite Life of Zack & Cody, The Suite Life on Deck, Wizards of Waverly Place, Phineas and Ferb and So Random!
They also broadcast programs that were shown on other networks. Many of these are based on characters from the Marvel Universe. Disney bought Marvel Comics in 2009. Because of this, more programs based on Marvel comics will be shown on Disney XD starting in April 2012.
In May 31, 2015, Disney XD introduced a new logo worldwide.
Begining in 2019, with the build up towards the launch of Disney+ and especially during its international expansion during 2021, several Disney XD channels worldwide have began to shut down, mostly in regions where Disney+ is already available.
As of June 17, 2022, only 5 Disney XD channels remain active, with these being present in the following countries: United States, Canada, Latin America, Netherlands and Poland, with the last one being the only one to cover an area where Disney+ is still absent.[1]
