Family Chrgd (pronounced "charged", stylized as family CHRGD) is a Canadian English-language Category B specialty channel owned by DHX Media. A channel of the DHX Television/Family Channel network, it airs live-action and animated children's programming aimed towards viewers aged 6–12. The channel first launched on June 1, 2011 under the ownership of Astral Media as a localized version of Disney XD.
Following the acquisition of Astral Media by Bell Canada (including former sister channel The Movie Network), Disney XD and three other channels (the English- and French-language Disney Junior-branded television networks and Family) were sold to their current owner, DHX Media, by Bell Canada's media and broadcasting division, Bell Media, on November 28, 2013.
On October 9, 2015, as a result of Corus Entertainment's acquisition of Canadian rights to Disney's children's programming and associated brands (which resulted in the launch of a new Disney XD-branded channel), the channel was renamed Family Chrgd.
In April 2009, Astral Media was granted approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a television channel named Family Extreme. Astral announced it would launch a localized version of Disney XD on June 1, 2011, using the Family Extreme license, in both standard and high definition.
