Ash and Friends Move to Disney XD in America; stay put on Teletoon in Canada

Posted on February 11, 2017 by Jason Nason

Starting today, February 11th, Disney XD became the new home of Pokémon the Series, in the United States. Episodes will air every Saturday morning at 9:00 AM, and every Saturday and Sunday evening at 7:30 PM. You can also watch Pokémon the Series every weekday at 4:00 PM.

The series isn’t making the switch in Canada though.

While Pokémon the Series moves from Cartoon Network to Disney XD south of the border, the show continues to air on Teletoon in Canada. A move to the Canadian equivelant of Disney XD wouldn’t be out of the question though as both Teletoon and Disney XD (and Cartoon Network for that matter) in Canada are channels licensed and owned by Corus Inc. Any channel switch would be a lateral move really.
