Naruto Shippuden on Disney XD Next Month
Humberto Saabedra
The Hollywood Reporter has filed a report stating that Viz has struck a broadcast deal with Disney-ABC Cable Networks to broadcast Naruto Shippuden on the young male-oriented Disney XD cable channel which was rebranded and relaunched this year.
This follows Viz’s prior confirmation that Shippuden would not air on Cartoon Network at Anime Expo due to Cartoon Network’s shift away from licensed programming to cheaper internal productions and live action programming. The series has been streaming on Hulu, Joost, Crunchyroll and via the naruto.com portal since January with the companion DVD release available later this month.
