## History

Disney XD launched as Fox Kids in the Netherlands on 2 August 1997. Saban International bought TV10 in January 1997 and introduced Fox Kids, a joint venture with Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation later on in that same year, making TV10 and Fox Kids a time-sharing channel. In the daytime Fox Kids and at night TV10.

In 2001 Saban wanted to sell its share in Fox Kids to the News Corporation. In the end Murdoch decided to sell Fox Kids to The Walt Disney Company so he would have the cash to acquire DirecTV. Fox Kids was rebranded by Jetix on 13 February 2005, now time-sharing with Veronica.

On 1 January 2010, the Dutch Jetix channel was rebranded as Disney XD, being the last Jetix station to be relaunched under that brand in Europe. One month later, a 24-hour version was launched on UPC Netherlands, followed by other providers in the Netherlands and Flanders. In 2012, Disney highly promoted the Disney XD 24-hour channel in magazines like Donald Duck and Tina under the banner Disney XD Extra. There is also extra programming added after 18:00.

In 25 March, 2015, Disney launched an HD simulcast of the 24-hour version of the channel, available at the time on KPN, XS4All and Telfort.
