The network's main competitors at launch were [[Cartoon Network]] from ''[[Warner Bros. Discovery]]'' (a merged company of previous owner [[WarnerMedia|Time Warner/WarnerMedia]] (who absorbed [[Turner Broadcasting System]], the company that launched the channel) and [[Discovery, Inc.]]) and [[Nickelodeon]] from [[Paramount Global]] (formerly [[Viacom (1952–2005)|the first]] and [[viacom (2005–2019)|the second incarnations of ''Viacom'']] and ''ViacomCBS''). Toon Disney initially operated as a commercial-free service from its launch until September 1999 when, unlike Disney Channel, it became ad-supported. The channel carried a mix of reruns of animated productions from [[Disney Television Animation]] (formerly ''Walt Disney Television Animation'') and Disney Channel, alongside some third-party programs from other distributors, animated films and original programming. In 2004, the channel introduced a nighttime program block aimed at children ages 7 to 14 called [[Jetix]], which featured action-oriented animated and live-action series. During Toon Disney's first year on the air, Disney Channel ran a sampler block of Toon Disney's programming on Sunday nights for interested subscribers. The network's successor, Disney XD, which launched on February 13, 2009, is also a channel also aimed at children and features a broader array of programming, with a heavier emphasis on live-action programs.
