Marvel Animation Age reports that the Spectacular Spider-man has been moved to Disney's new "Disney XD" channel.
The Toon Disney network, which is being rebranded Disney XD in February 2009 in an effort to capture the male market, will be the new home for The Spectacular Spider-Man in 2009. Reports leaked out earlier this week revealing where the critically-acclaimed series would be landing for a second season.
The Spectacular Spider-Man, which premiered March 2008 on the Saturday morning block Kids'WB on The CW, was slated to be moved to a new network in light of 4Kids Entertainment taking over Saturday morning programming for The CW. However, The series remains on the The CW 4Kids block for the time being, but will move to Disney XD to premiere new episodes next year. New episodes of The Spectacular Spider-Man will premiere on Disney XD beginning in March 2009. Repeats from the first season are also expected to be featured on the network.
A timeslot and date have not yet been announced for The Spectacular Spider-Man's premiere on Disney XD. The Spectacular Spider-Man is produced by Marvel and Culver Entertainment.
I think putting this on a Disney channel is a terrible idea. It won't get the same ratings as on the CW and Disney does horrendous editing of their shows. Let's hope SSM isn't affected by this.
