FX is a brand name used by a number of different television channels throughout the world owned by FX Networks, a subsidiary of Disney Entertainment. FX was originally established as a standard or premium cable television channel in the United States but has expanded worldwide.
On August 6, 2011, Rogers Sports & Media entered into a licensing agreement with FX Networks to launch FX Canada as a pay television channel. [4] The network, which launched on November 1, 2011, features a mix of FX original series; acquired American movies and series; and original Canadian programming and sporting events (as required by the Canadian content rules imposed by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission). FX Canada's broadcast license requires that 15% of its programming consist of Canadian content in its first year, 20% in its second year and 25% by its third year.
On May 18, 2018, Remstar Media Group entered into a separate licensing agreement to carry a French language FX-branded programming block on the channel Max.
In 2008, Fox Networks Group Asia and Star TV (through a distribution agreement) partnered to launch FX Asia. The channel is divided into four services: an international channel distributed throughout much of the continent and three national channels serving South Korea, Philippines and Japan. The channel was shut down on October 1, 2021, with most of its content shifting to the Star content hub on Disney+ (for Singapore, Philippines, Hong Kong and Taiwan) and Disney+ Hotstar (for Southeast Asia region outside Singapore and Philippines).
