Hence, in a strategic move that acknowledges these evolving preferences, Disney XD channels will now transition to Jetix, renewing a beloved name that echoes with nostalgia and opens doors to new possibilities.

While fans of Disney XD may experience a bittersweet feeling as they bid farewell to the brand they’ve grown up with, the essence of what made Disney XD appealing is set to continue under the Jetix banner.
