Disney XD was an Indian pay television channel, which was launched in 2004 as Toon Disney. It was later relaunched as Disney XD on 14 November 2009.[4] The network was the Indian equivalent to the original American network, and primarily aired a mix of animated and live action content.[5] The channel was replaced by Marvel HQ on 20 January 2019 at 12 PM.[6]
History
In December 2004, as a part of expanding their South Asian market, The Walt Disney Company launched the Indian feeds of Disney Channel and Toon Disney. Both channels broadcast in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.[7]
Toon Disney initially broadcast in English, Tamil, and Telugu, with a Hindi-language audio track being added on 1 September 2005.[7][8] Toon Disney carried the Jetix block in the country. In November 2009, Disney XD was launched in India, replacing Toon Disney.[9][10]
In February 2013, the Government of Bangladesh banned the broadcast of Disney XD, along with Disney Channel India, in the country, as it was accused of broadcasting in Hindi throughout the day. Unrelated Pogo was also banned.[1] Later, the Southeast Asian feed of Disney XD was made available on specific cable providers in Bangladesh.
On 20 January 2019, Disney XD India was replaced with Marvel HQ,[11] which itself was replaced with Super Hungama on 1 March 2022.
