History[]

4Kids! TV (1990-2008)[]

The channel started as Fox Kids and belonged to Fox Television Entertainment when it started transmitting on September 8, 1990. The network lived to be the longest running children's television block/network, alongside Nickelodeon, and managed to have high ratings throughout its run. It originally transmitted some animes, series and cartoons like Totally Spies!, The Addams Family, X-Man, Kirby, Sonic X and others. In 2002 it was sold to The Walt Disney Company and replaced by Toon Disney.

Toon Disney/Jetix (1998-2009)[]

After Fox Kids had been sold to The Walt Disney Company in 2002, the channel was called Toon Disney from April 18, 1998. It transmitted some cartoons of the current Disney XD as part of the Jetix program block, like Yin Yang Yo!, Phineas and Ferb, Pucca, Kid vs. Kat, etc.; and others cartoons and animes from the old Fox Kids channel, like Sonic X, Digimon, Power Rangers, etc. In 2008, Disney decided to close down Toon Disney and merge it with the Jetix program block to form a new channel: Disney XD.

Disney XD started with some old shows like Aaron Stone and then started new series like I'm In The Band, Zeke and Luther and others. These series helped the popularity of the channel to grow. In 2010, they began airing Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil. This cartoon helped the audience of the channel grow further because of the show's originality.
