Disney XD is a Canadian English-language specialty channel owned by Corus Entertainment which launched on December 1, 2015. It is a localized version of the U.S. network of the same name operated under license from Disney Branded Television, which broadcasts live-action and animated programming aimed at kids between the ages of 6 and 15.[1]

History

A Canadian version of Disney XD was originally launched by Astral Media on June 1, 2011 as a spin-off of Family Channel, which had historically held rights to the programming of Disney Channel and its spin-off brands.[2][3] After Bell Media acquired Astral in 2013, the company sold Disney XD along with its sister channels (Family Channel and the French and English versions of Disney Junior) to DHX Media. On April 16, 2015, Corus Entertainment announced that it had reached an agreement to acquire the Canadian rights to Disney Channel programming and brands.[3]

Disney XD programming initially aired in a programming block on the Canadian version of Disney Channel, which Corus launched on September 1, 2015.[3][4] The Disney XD-branded channel owned by DHX was renamed Family Chrgd on October 9, 2015, then again to WildBrainTV on March 1, 2022.[5]

The new Corus-owned Disney XD channel launched on December 1, 2015 as an exempt discretionary service.[6][7] On September 1, 2017, the channel obtained a discretionary service licence from the CRTC.[8]
