Disney to target boys with rebranded cable channel (http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-disney7-2008aug07,0,6413232.story)

Looks like Toon Disney is to become a boy centered channel called Disney XD. As the father of a 6 year old boy, I am hoping this will lead to more boy activities, characters and attractions at the parks to balance out the Princess based things Disney offers.

Toon Disney has been more "boy oriented" in the past year or so. I feel that the boys are a little neglected at times, so this should be a good sign.

It seems to already have started. We are seeing LOTS of Spiderman, Batman, IronMan and Power Rangers at all times of the day.

Since this isn't really a theme parks issue, I've moved this thread to the Rumors and News board. :)

If Toon Disney is becoming Disney XD, then what's going to happen to that massive fairly-new section of Disney.com that's also called Disney XD (which stands for Disney Xtreme Digital)? :confused:

And will the network continue to air the old shows like Duck Tales, Rescue Rangers, House of Mouse, etc.?
