Ownership
Country	Canada
Headquarters	Toronto, Ontario
Owner	DHX Media

Family Chrgd (pronounced "charged", stylized as family CHRGD) is a Canadian English-language Category B specialty digital cable and satellite television channel that is owned and operated by DHX Media. A multiplex channel of DHX's Family Channel, it airs live-action and animated television series aimed towards viewers aged 6–12. The channel launched on October 9, 2015.

History

On April 16, 2015, it was announced that Corus Entertainment had acquired Canadian rights to Disney Channel's program library; alongside the launch of a Canadian version of Disney Channel, Corus stated that it would launch other "Disney branded kids linear television offerings" in the future. In anticipation for this transition, DHX concurrently announced that its Disney-branded networks would be realigned under the Family brand by November 2015.

Tentatively, Disney XD was to be replaced by Family XTRM, a variation of the channel's working title during licensing. When announcing its slate of programming for the 2015-16 season on August 20, 2015, DHX revealed the channel's new name would be Family Chrgd. Its future lineup will feature new seasons of its original slate, in addition to new shows produced by DHX subsidiaries and other studios (such as the aforementioned Fangbone!), as well as new program supply agreements with Mattel, and later in the year, DreamWorks Animation. The re-branding took effect on October 9, 2015.
