FX is a Latin American pay television channel. It is intended as a counterpart to Fox Life (which became Star Life, now defunct), the first being produced for the Young and Adult audience, while the latter is almost entirely programmed for the female viewers. It was launched in May 1, 2005.[1]

History

[edit]

The channel started broadcasting on May 1, 2005 under the slogan Lo que el hombre ve (what men watch). At launch it was received by 5 million households and had secured agreements with Sky Brasil and cable television associations in Mexico (PCTV) and Colombia.[2] Between 2006 and 2007 it had an original reality show called La Chica FX.

In July 2007, Fox's adult animation block, No molestar!, in Spanish or Não perturbe!, in Portuguese (literal: "Do not disturb!"), was extended to FX, featuring series as Family Guy, American Dad!, God, the Devil and Bob and The Wrong Coast, all previously seen on the Fox block.[3] But the block was removed from the channel in 2011.

In January 2012, FX launched its own HD feed throughout Latin America.[4][5]

On November 27, 2020, Disney announced that it would rename the Fox channels in Latin America to Star on 22 February 2021. This change would not affect FX, National Geographic, FXM, Cinecanal or Fox Sports Channels.[6]

Between April and May 2021, after 15 years, Fox's adult animation shows, such as Family Guy, American Dad!, Bob's Burgers and Bless the Harts, were moved from the channel to the STAR+ streaming service. Ever since, only films, series and other programs were broadcast.[7]
