Doctor Who will be airing on Disney XD in the US and I think this is a good way to get a younger generation into watching the show and hopefully the continue with it and seek out the show on BBC America. It is also a good move as BBC America is a premium channel and now the show can gain a larger audience. Lets hope they add Matt Smith and Peter Capaldi episodes in the future. Below is the press release.
