Disney XD is an American digital cable and satellite television channel that is owned by the Disney Channels Worldwide unit of the Disney–ABC Television Group, itself a unit of the Disney Media Networks division of The Walt Disney Company. Aimed primarily at children, its programming consists of original first-run television series, current and former original series and made-for-cable films from sister network Disney Channel, theatrically-released movies, and some live-action and animated programs from other distributors. The channel offers an alternate Spanish language audio feed, either via a separate channel as part of a package of Spanish television networks sold by cable and satellite providers or a separate audio track accessible through the SAP option, depending on the provider. As of February 2015, Disney XD is available to approximately 80,120,000 pay television households (68.8% of households with at least one television set) in the United States. ==History== Disney XD was launched on February 13, 2009 at 12:00 a.m. Eastern Time, with the ''Phineas and Ferb'' episode "Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together!" as its first program. The channel debuted its first original series, ''Aaron Stone'', at 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time that day; the first part of the two-part premiere episode aired simultaneously on Disney XD and Disney Channel. New animated series included in the channel's initial lineup were ''Kid vs. Kat'' and ''Jimmy Two Shoes''. The network took over the channel space of Toon Disney, an animation-focused channel that debuted on April 18, 1998, which eventually launched a live-action/animation block called Jetix in 2004; Jetix channels outside of the United States were relaunched under the Disney XD brand starting with the France-based service on April 1, 2009.〔(【引用サイトリンク】French Jetix becomes Disney XD )〕 Many of the channel's programs – particularly animated series – previously aired on Toon Disney, mainly as part of the Jetix program block, which ran on Toon Disney until that channel's shutdown. Disney XD carries the same name as an unrelated mini-site and media player on Disney.com, which stood for Disney Xtreme Digital,〔(Disney to offer safe social site for kids ), ''Chicago Tribune'' (via HighBeam Research), January 17, 2007.〕 though it has been stated that the "XD" in the ''channel''s name does not have an actual meaning. The channel's first original television movie, ''Skyrunners'', premiered on November 27, 2009. On April 1, 2012, Disney XD launched a block called "Marvel Universe," as a result of Disney's 2009 acquisition of Marvel Entertainment.〔 In mid-2012, Disney created ''Disney Shows'', a YouTube channel that hosts episodes of Disney Channel and Disney XD series and shorts (Disney XD series available on the channel include ''Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil'', ''Kickin' It'', ''Pair of Kings'', and ''Zeke and Luther'').〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.youtube.com/disneysshows )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Disney XD」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
