Disney XD, unlike its sister channels Disney Channel and Disney Junior, operates as an ad-supported service, similar to its predecessor Toon Disney. The channel carries the same name as an unrelated mini-site and media player on [[Disney.com]], which stood for [[Disney Xtreme Digital]], though it is said that the "XD" in the channel's name does not have an actual meaning.<ref>{{cite news|date=17 January 2007|title=Disney to offer safe social site for kids|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-157749732.html|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110624034420/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-157749732.html|archive-date=24 June 2011|newspaper=[[Chicago Tribune]]|access-date=23 March 2012}}</ref>
