Disney Channel & Disney XD:
Disney Channel only has 2 premieres including a brand new animated series 101 Dalmatian Street and another batch of episodes for those who love Bizaardvark. Its nice seeing some animation in the channel especially one which is there for the whole family and not for a specific market. Now let's talk about Disney XD as you know the channel has been going through a ruff patch since the channel might die in a few years or even sooner with the future arrival of Disney+ around the corner. Disney has been investing less time into XD while Disney Channel and Disney Junior schedule is packed with current programming during the day there's Disney XD the most popular channel in Latin America and a decent channel in EMEA (for now) which is packed with repeats with a mini slot for premieres and again REPEATS. The only reason the channel went 24/7 was to align our feeds with several other regions including U.K., Germany, Poland, Spain and EMEA if one does look at the scheduling and programs. April has got to be the worst time for premieres as they only have the 1 timeslot and end before the middle of the month except Star Wars which is once a week even Disney Channel's most popular show DuckTales is treated like Space Chickens in Space because guess what there's no repeats during the day as the channel is flooded with double bill repeats of Lab Rats, Mighty Med and Kickin It' they highlight as new episodes for a couple of days which is not and an error on their part. Then there's new episodes of Star Wars Resistance carrying on from March. Disney XD has been switched for Marvel HQ in India and will be duplicated elsewhere depending on 'market demands' as stated but Germany seems to be rebranding their Disney XD for Marvel HQ now that their YouTube channel transformed into Marvel HQ and doesn't EMEA with a bunch of other international markets share a feed with that region too only time will tell how far the Disney XD Purge will go now that Disney is looking into moving shows from the Disney Channels exclusively to Disney+ with discussions on shutting down a couple of Disney Channels (not Disney Channel) internationally and regional Disney made shows in Europe and Latin America. Even if Africa keeps 3 channels flowing how long will that last now that Marvel is getting scrapped for Disney XD and further Marvel animation goes to Disney Channel, Disney+ and Hulu. Steve Hullett revealed that Disney XD death might come with less content and look the the U.S. already moved Disney XD shows to Disney Channel and any show which was commissioned by Disney XD went to Disney Channel. Disney EMEA (Africa) even started branding shows from Disney XD like DuckTales and possibly Big City Greens as Disney Channel. Even Vikingskool and Best Bugs upcoming shows which looks like Disney XD kind of shows are commissioned and branded off as Disney Channel while Junior gets its on platform. The highlights goes as follows:
