Disney XD (Asia)

Disney XD in Asia is a pay television channel owned by The Walt Disney Company (Southeast Asia) Pte. Ltd. and part of the Disney Branded Television unit of the United States-based Walt Disney Television, it was also operated by Fox Networks Group Asia Pacific during the acquisition on both Disney and Fox in 2019. It was aimed primarily at children, 6–15 years old.
Its programming lineup included Marvel and Star Wars shows, reruns of programs previously aired on Disney Channel and certain action series. It also aired some pre-school related programs from Disney Junior.
==History==
Disney XD first began broadcasting in Singapore on February 9, 2009. The channel was expanded to Malaysia on March 16, 2012, Indonesia and Thailand on October 19, 2013, and lastly, the Philippines on May 31, 2014.
After the ban of Disney Channel India and Disney XD India in Bangladesh due to broadcasting in Hindi language and heavy localisation of the Indian feeds, Disney XD Asia was made available on few digital cable platforms there in 2016.
Due to Astro's Refreshed Kids Pack on December 14, 2020 and the launch of Disney+ Hotstar on June 1, 2021, the channel, along with Disney Junior, ceased broadcasting on Astro and Astro-owned TV providers (including NJOI and Kristal-Astro). Therefore, there's the only impact that The Walt Disney Company will be shutting down Disney XD in Southeast Asia on the same date and time by following the review of Disney's business in the region, just before Astro have already confirmed with this statement before Astro shutting down both Disney Channel and Disney Junior on the same date and time. However, The Walt Disney Company didn't announce that Astro will be shutting down Disney Channel and Disney Junior on New Year's Day 2021 at midnight.
On February 28, 2019, the Malaysian feed of Disney XD Asia was merged into the main feed, with timings on promos now saying MAL/PHIL instead of SIN/PHIL. Astro, the sole operator in Malaysia that formerly carried Disney Channels made Disney XD an HD only channel from 1 March 2019 and the SD version on Disney XD (617) ceased broadcasting from the Astro list on March 14, 2019.
Though, Disney XD was unavailable in Hong Kong and Vietnam, and therefore selected programs from Disney XD was available on Disney Channel Asia.
Disney Channel, Disney Junior and Disney XD ceased transmission in Singapore on June 1, 2020 on both Singtel and StarHub. Selected programs from these three channels were moved to Disney+ on February 23, 2021. However, because of a review of Disney's business in the region and after about nine years of broadcasting, Disney XD ceased operations at 1:10am on January 1, 2021, simultaneously with the discontinuation of Scandinavian version of the channel. Disney XD's content were moved to Disney Channel, Disney+ Hotstar (in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand) and Disney+ (in the Philippines and Singapore). The last programme to air on the channel was an episode of Counterfeit Cat. After the episode ended, it shows an episode of The Tiniest Man in the World, which then shows some promos, commercials, bumpers and a lot of Blam! clips. Afterwards, it cuts to a black screen.
In the Philippines, it showed a test card at 2:15 am. The channel space was replaced by Metro Channel on January 4, 2021 on Cignal.
In Malaysia, it showed a grey message at 12:05 am while airing Counterfeit Cat. The channel space was replaced by TA-DAA! on March 14, 2019 on Astro.
