Toon Disney will become Disney XD. Just rebranded and basically will be playing the same programming from the way I understood the affiliate site. It should changeover on February 13, 2009.

As far as Disney HD,it is about the worst HD channel on Dish. Which is really disappointing,in that Disney had a history of providing top notch picture quality.It was one of the first color series with the Wonderful World of Color.
Its HD quality stinks,and of course all of its new shows seem to be written by the same people! No more originality!

Oh, and as for the "new" channel.

1) What the heck does XD mean?

2) Didn't Fox try to do sex segregated kids channels? Didn't they fail miserably?

And to Dennis...next time your nice asks, tell her it's the same reason Cartoon Network had Jurassic Park 3 on last weekend...programming executives are idiots.

I have a feeling xd is going to become Xtreme disney. Probably stuff aimed for the teens.
I would use the executive line, but she would then say that she could be one, because he is an idiot, ans she is already smarter than he is. (She is always thinking ahead):)

The keystone state
The first time I saw the "XD" name, I thought Disney was trying to attract the IM/SMS kids - XD is also a fairly popular emoticon.

"xD" or "XD", an emoticon commonly used on the internet to express happiness, self-depreciation, laughter, bewilderment, or sarcasm (tilted 90 degrees clockwise, X indicates squeezed eyes and D an open laughing mouth)

It's actually aimed at boys 6-12 or something like that. And Disney Channel is supposed to get even girlier.

That's why I was talking about sex segregation. Fox tried to start up BoyzChannel and GirlzChannel and it was a disaster.

EDIT...so that would make the full name of the channel Disney Extreme Disney? Marketing people should all just be rounded up and shot into space.

More teen related programming with cartoons, and XD I think does mean Xtreme Disney.

Xtreme compared to what? I cant imagine they will have an animated show (computer/drawn/stopmotion) that has a line like "A vagina can be quite useful". :D

Same here on FiOS TV. My little one is currently watching The Wild and it's SD...and not very good quality SD at that. In fact, I don't recall seeing the little one watching many HD shows on Disney.
