MUMBAI: The Walt Disney Company is planning to roll out its Disney XD channel in the United Kingdom.

The channel, which will replace Jetix in UK, is already present in the US and launched in France this April.

Disney XD, aimed at the 6-to-14 year olds, will feature Disney-branded new and library programming. It will also feature local acquisitions.

The channel will launch in conjunction with the website DisneyXD.co.uk.

"Disney XD will capitalise on all of the assets across the Company to make it the leading boy-focused entertainment platform in the UK and around the world," said Disney Channels U.K. and Ireland general manager Boel Ferguson.
