3 | [=WildBrainTV=] is a Canadian cable channel and a spinoff of Creator/FamilyChannel that broadcasts live-action and animated programming aimed at kids and teenagers. |

5 | The channel was launched on June 1, 2011 by Astral Media (Family’s owners at the time) as the Canadian version of Creator/DisneyXD, in accordance with Family’s ownership of the Canadian broadcasting rights to Creator/DisneyChannel’s programming. Following Astral’s acquisition by Creator/BellMedia in 2013, ownership of the channel (along with Family and Creator/FamilyJr, then the Canadian version of Disney Junior) shuffled over to DHX Media (now Creator/WildBrain) in 2014. However, the biggest change arrived in April 2015 when Creator/CorusEntertainment (owners of Creator/{{YTV}}, Creator/{{Teletoon}}, Creator/{{Nelvana}}, and many other major properties in Canadian television) acquired the Canadian broadcasting rights to all of Creator/DisneyChannel, Creator/DisneyJunior, and Creator/DisneyXD's programming, and subsequently launched their own version of Disney XD. As a result, DHX Media rebranded their Disney XD under the Family Channel branding, becoming Family CHRGD (though it was more commonly marketed as just [[OfficiallyShortenedTitle "CHRGD"]]) in October 2015. In March 2022, it would rebrand again to its current name, [=WildBrainTV=]. |

7 | As a Canadian network, [=WildBrainTV=] is subject to Canadian Content laws, meaning a certain percentage of its daily programming must be produced in Canada. As a result, the channel has commissioned several original series, with their first original program being Creator/NerdCorpsEntertainment’s 2012 series ''WesternAnimation/{{Slugterra}}''. They’ve also aired a few original movies, with the first one being Creator/FreshTV’s horror comedy ''Bunks'' in 2013. While most of their Disney programming from their Disney XD days, such as ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'' and ''WesternAnimation/WanderOverYonder'', was lost to Corus, they did temporarily retain a few shows, like ''WesternAnimation/RandyCunninghamNinthGradeNinja'' and ''WesternAnimation/PennZeroPartTimeHero''. However, cartoons from Creator/DreamWorksAnimation like ''WesternAnimation/TheEpicTalesOfCaptainUnderpants'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Dinotrux}}'', ''WesternAnimation/VoltronLegendaryDefender'', and ''WesternAnimation/DragonsRidersOfBerk'' make up much of their American imported programming nowadays. They also air a number of European imports, like ''WesternAnimation/ZakStorm'' and ''WesternAnimation/BoyGirlDogCatMouseCheese''. Canadian programming is largely made up of properties that [=WildBrain=] owns or distributes, such as ''WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest'' (both the original series and the revival), ''WesternAnimation/{{Supernoobs}}'', ''WesternAnimation/InspectorGadget2015'', ''WesternAnimation/TheDeep2015'', ''WesternAnimation/StormHawks'', and ''WesternAnimation/{{Fangbone}}''. |
