4Disney XD is an American cable channel that launched on February 13, 2009, replacing Creator/ToonDisney and in some regions, Creator/{{Jetix|Europe}}.
5
6In the late 2000s, executives noticed that while Creator/DisneyChannel had an overwhelming female audience, Toon Disney was skewed more towards the male demographic. Disney XD was meant to capitalize on this realization, with the channel initially being host to action/adventure-based programming. In essence, [[DistaffCounterpart Disney XD was Disney Channel for boys]].
7
8Disney XD's original programming started out with live-action sitcoms, more dramatic series like ''Series/AaronStone'', and a few original animated productions such as ''WesternAnimation/KickButtowskiSuburbanDaredevil''. The channel has also aired {{anime}} titles such as ''[[Manga/{{Naruto}} Naruto Shippuden]]'', Canadian co-productions like ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' and ''WesternAnimation/KidVsKat'', and eventually reruns of ''Series/DoctorWho'' would air for a short period of time.
9
10Disney XD is considered to have [[GrowingTheBeard begun growing its beard]] following Disney's purchase of Creator/{{Lucasfilm}} and Creator/MarvelComics, at which point the channel began playing host to numerous animated series based on [[WesternAnimation/MarvelUniverseDisneyXD Marvel properties]] and the ''Franchise/StarWars'' franchise. Disney XD would also become the home for all non-preschool animated programming produced by Creator/DisneyTelevisionAnimation[[note]]the sole exception being ''WesternAnimation/TangledTheSeries''[[/note]] [[NetworkDecay thanks in no small part to Disney Channel playing favorites to their original sitcoms]], beginning with the second season of ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls''. Reruns of these shows occasionally aired through a branded programming block on Disney Channel. This renewed focus on animation ironically began the process of turning Disney XD into a SpiritualSuccessor of the very network it replaced.
11
12In addition to the greater focus on animation, the channel would later expand its programming scope to encompass gaming and reality television, with the former represented by the short-lived D|XP block which included live e-sporting events, programs produced with the Disney-owned Creator/{{Polaris}} Platform/{{YouTube}} network, and even a live broadcast of E3 2018. In recent years, Disney XD would also become the new home for the ''[[Anime/PokemonTheSeries Pokémon]]'' and ''Franchise/{{Beyblade}}'' anime franchises following their previous tenure at Creator/CartoonNetwork. Finally, the channel also began airing reruns of past Disney animated programming, increasing the similarities between it and its former brand identity.
13
14In May 2018, it was announced that premieres of all Disney animated programming would move to Disney Channel, beginning with the remainder of ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales2017'''s first season, though Disney XD would continue to air reruns of these shows. In 2019, Disney shuttered the Australian and Indian versions of Disney XD, the latter of which was replaced by Marvel HQ[[note]]a TV version of Marvel's website for kids and families[[/note]]. The following year, the United Kingdom version (and the rest of Disney's U.K. kids' nets for that matter) shut down in September[[note]]as Disney never reached new carriage deals with Sky and Virgin Media[[/note]].
15
16Disney XD is not to be confused with the former Disney Xtreme Digital at Disney.com. In fact, it's been stated that the "XD" in the channel's name has no real meaning ([[TotallyRadical aside from]] [[XtremeKoolLetterz the obvious]]).
