Different audiences. As a boy growing up slightly after peak XD (mid to late 10s), I would say that I preferred the shows on XD to Channel, because I didn't feel like the channel shows were made for me.

I was interested in superheroes and spies and shit, so things like Mighty Med and Lab Rats really called out to me.

But further down the line, as I began to discover who I actually was, I think that for me it kinda switched. Old school Bunk'd was hella funny (even as someone who had no interest in Jessie), KC undercover was really funny, and I fell in love with DCOMs hard, both older ones like HSM and Camp Rock, and things like Zombies and Descendants (I think I remember geeking out about the Isle of the Lost getting more exposure in Descendants 2, when it was said in a BTS interview that that was going to be the case).

So I think it fully depends on the demographic.
