Fox Crime is an Australian subscription television channel primarily screening crime drama television series. The channel launched on 7 November 2019, replacing TVHits.
In August 2013 it was announced Foxtel had failed to complete negotiations with the TV1 General Entertainment Partnership for a new carriage deal for their channel TV1, an Australian general entertainment channel dedicated to hit television series. As a result, Foxtel planned to replace it with another general entertainment channel once TV1's carriage deal had expired. [74] In October 2013 it was announced TVHits, a channel owned and operated by Foxtel Networks, would replace TV1 on 1 January 2014. [75] [76]
On 1 January 2014, the channel launched on pay television provider Foxtel (which included its streaming service Foxtel Go as well as its IPTV service Foxtel Play) [75] [77] as well as on Australian IPTV provider Fetch TV. [78] [79]
On 1 January 2019 TVHits ceased broadcasting on Fetch TV as the provider and TVHits parent company Foxtel were unable to renew their supply agreement. [80]
At launch, TVHits' programming primarily consisted of hit American shows from Warner Bros., Carsey-Werner, Sony Pictures Television, CBS Studios International and NBCUniversal. [75] [76] [77] However, following the rebrand of 111 on 1 November 2015, the channel's sitcoms moved to 111 and as a result, the channel became solely focused on dramas. [81] [82]
In late 2019 Foxtel announced they would launch four new entertainment channels on 7 November 2019, one of which being Fox Crime. [83] [84] Fox Crime was described as offering crime and mystery series such as the CSI and NCIS franchises. [84] This new channel would replace the existing TVHits which offered similar content. These new Fox-branded channels were a means of building and consolidating the Fox brand to combat increasing competition in the subscription television marketplace. [85]

A-PAC ( /ˈeɪpæk/ AY-pak; Australian Public Affairs Channel) is an Australian 24-hour cable and satellite news channel available on Foxtel and Austar platforms.
On 8 December 2008 it was announced that an Australian public affairs channel called A-SPAN (an acronym for Australian Subscription Public Affairs Channel) would launch on 20 January 2009. The channel format is modelled on the American public affairs network C-SPAN. The news came after reports the ABC were considering launching a dedicated public affairs digital channel. [1] [2] Prior to launch the channel renamed as A-PAC (an acronym for Australian Public Affairs Channel). A-PAC is a not for profit independent channel funded by Austar and Foxtel, and produced by Sky News Australia. [3] [4]
The channel officially launched on the morning of 20 January 2009, with the inauguration of United States President Barack Obama airing on its first day, using a feed from U.S. cable channel C-SPAN. [5] [4]
Despite originally planned to occur on 26 April 2009, on 17 May 2009 A-PAC began broadcasting in 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, along with sister channels Sky News Business Channel and Sky News Australia. [6]
On 24 May 2012, Foxtel acquired Austar, [7] which saw Foxtel become the sole stakeholder of A-PAC.
In February 2014, A-PAC had an on-air refresh, as well as launched a revamped website and a new weekly newsletter. In addition, Sky News presenter Helen Dalley was appointed as channel host. [8]
On 1 December 2016, News Corp Australia acquired A-PAC in a purchase which saw the company also acquire full ownership of the Australian News Channel. [9]
A-PAC content features live broadcasts from Australia's Parliament House in Canberra (including sittings of the House of Representatives, the Senate, parliamentary Committee meetings and political press conferences), the parliaments of New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland as well as sittings of the United States Congress, live broadcasts of speeches from the Australian National Press Club and a program which provides coverage of the New Zealand and British parliaments. Material from the United Nations and the European Parliament is also aired. [5] [4] [1]

At launch A-PAC was available via satellite and cable television on channel 607; and was later made available by Internet streaming on its website, as well as on free-to-air digital television in Sydney as a trial. [4]
On 15 November 2009, A-PAC's channel location for Foxtel changed from Channel 607 to Channel 648.
From 1 May 2016, the service's linear channel was replaced by Sky News Election Channel, resulting in the service only being available on the Sky News Multiview service and online. [10] [11] [12] Although the service was originally planned to relaunch as a linear channel on 30 November 2016, [12] this was later postponed, [13] and ultimately the linear channel did not return until 24 January 2017. [14] The relaunch did, however, see A-PAC obtain Sky News Election Channel's HD feed, [15] seeing the channel available in high definition for the first time.
A-PAC content is streamed on the Internet in Windows Media (wmv) formats with a choice of 160 kbit/s and 2 Mbit/s streaming bit rates. However, availability of the Internet-streamed content is limited. The wmv-only format means that A-PAC content cannot be streamed on popular mobile phones such as the iPhone. The audio channel is not streamed separately (as an audio stream), further limiting the potential audience.

Have You Been Paying Attention? (abbreviated as HYBPA?) is an Australian game show on Network Ten. The series, which is produced by Working Dog Productions, is a mix of news and comedy which sees host Tom Gleisner quiz five guests (of whom Ed Kavalee and Sam Pang are permanent panellists) on the weeks top news stories. [1] [2] The series first premiered on Network Ten on Sunday 3 November 2013.
Despite a disappointing start in ratings, and multiple changes in timeslot and format, the series has proven to be a consistent performer for Network Ten, having its ratings increase with successive seasons and receiving critical acclaim. [2] [3]
The series is currently in its fourth season, which premiered on 9 May 2016.
The series sees the host ask questions, of which only correct answers are rewarded with points. In addition to questions regarding the previous week's events, the contestants are also quizzed in various other games. Generally, two of these segments are played in each episode.
Over or Under: Each contestant individually watches a clip from RBT and must guess if the person is "over or under" the legal drinking limit (which is .05 in Australia).
Trash or Treasure: Each contestant individually watches a clip from Antiques Roadshow and must guess if the item the person has is worth under £1000 (trash) or is worth over £1000 (treasure).
Going, Going, Gone: A series of questions about famous items being sold over the past week and contestants must answer what it is famous for, or which famous person used or owned it.
Either/Or: The original variation of the above three and is used primarily to test the contestants' understanding of complicated (or amusing) names in the news.
General subject segments: News events from the past week which can be grouped into the categories of Showbiz or Sport.
Guest Quizmasters segment: Often about ten questions in length at each interval in the program. The questions asked are usually related to the guest quizmaster (e.g. a guest quizmaster who is appearing as they were formally a contestant on The Bachelor ask questions regarding events which occurred on the series).
Celebrity Questions: Added in 2016, a celebrity asks a set of questions based on them or their work. Similar to the Guest Quizmasters segment in nature.
Final Round: Titled Rapid Recall, this is the final segment of the show and sees contestants required to answer as quickly as possible as the segment is timed. This is the only segment during the show where the scores are not readily shown.
The series was first commissioned by Network Ten on 25 October 2013, with the first season to consist of 8 episodes which would air over the final four weeks of ratings season and first four weeks of Summer ratings. [4]
In February 2014, it was reported in an interview with host and co-executive producer Tom Gleisner that Network Ten had given the series an "open-ended" run for its 2014 season. [1] The second season premiered on 23 February 2014 in the new timeslot of 6pm Sunday. [1] On 9 April 2014, part way through the second season, it was announced that the show would be moved from the 6pm Sunday timeslot to 9.30pm Monday, and expanded to a one-hour format. The later timeslot would allow the series to include more adult themes. Following a six week hiatus, the show returned on Monday 19 May 2014. [5] [6] [3] Beginning on 14 July, season two moved an hour earlier to 8:30pm as a result of the low ratings of 24: Live Another Day which previously occupied the timeslot. [7]
On 29 September 2014, it was reported that a Year in Review special had been commissioned which would air later in the year. [8] The special aired on 17 November 2014, reviewing the top news stories of the past 12 months. [9]
On 14 November 2014, the series was renewed for a third season, [10] which premiered on 11 May 2015. [11]
A second Year in Review special aired following the third season, premiering on 23 November 2015. [12]
On 26 October 2015, the series was renewed for a fourth season, [13] which premiered on 9 May 2016. [14] In October 2016, part of the set was revamped to include illuminating buzzers and minor changes in graphics.[ citation needed]

Fox Crime is an Australian subscription television channel primarily screening crime drama television series. The channel launched on 7 November 2019, replacing TVHits.
In August 2013 it was announced Foxtel had failed to complete negotiations with the TV1 General Entertainment Partnership for a new carriage deal for their channel TV1, an Australian general entertainment channel dedicated to hit television series. As a result, Foxtel planned to replace it with another general entertainment channel once TV1's carriage deal had expired. [74] In October 2013 it was announced TVHits, a channel owned and operated by Foxtel Networks, would replace TV1 on 1 January 2014. [75] [76]
On 1 January 2014, the channel launched on pay television provider Foxtel (which included its streaming service Foxtel Go as well as its IPTV service Foxtel Play) [75] [77] as well as on Australian IPTV provider Fetch TV. [78] [79]
On 1 January 2019 TVHits ceased broadcasting on Fetch TV as the provider and TVHits parent company Foxtel were unable to renew their supply agreement. [80]
At launch, TVHits' programming primarily consisted of hit American shows from Warner Bros., Carsey-Werner, Sony Pictures Television, CBS Studios International and NBCUniversal. [75] [76] [77] However, following the rebrand of 111 on 1 November 2015, the channel's sitcoms moved to 111 and as a result, the channel became solely focused on dramas. [81] [82]
In late 2019 Foxtel announced they would launch four new entertainment channels on 7 November 2019, one of which being Fox Crime. [83] [84] Fox Crime was described as offering crime and mystery series such as the CSI and NCIS franchises. [84] This new channel would replace the existing TVHits which offered similar content. These new Fox-branded channels were a means of building and consolidating the Fox brand to combat increasing competition in the subscription television marketplace. [85]

A-PAC ( /ˈeɪpæk/ AY-pak; Australian Public Affairs Channel) is an Australian 24-hour cable and satellite news channel available on Foxtel and Austar platforms.
On 8 December 2008 it was announced that an Australian public affairs channel called A-SPAN (an acronym for Australian Subscription Public Affairs Channel) would launch on 20 January 2009. The channel format is modelled on the American public affairs network C-SPAN. The news came after reports the ABC were considering launching a dedicated public affairs digital channel. [1] [2] Prior to launch the channel renamed as A-PAC (an acronym for Australian Public Affairs Channel). A-PAC is a not for profit independent channel funded by Austar and Foxtel, and produced by Sky News Australia. [3] [4]
The channel officially launched on the morning of 20 January 2009, with the inauguration of United States President Barack Obama airing on its first day, using a feed from U.S. cable channel C-SPAN. [5] [4]
Despite originally planned to occur on 26 April 2009, on 17 May 2009 A-PAC began broadcasting in 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio, along with sister channels Sky News Business Channel and Sky News Australia. [6]
On 24 May 2012, Foxtel acquired Austar, [7] which saw Foxtel become the sole stakeholder of A-PAC.
In February 2014, A-PAC had an on-air refresh, as well as launched a revamped website and a new weekly newsletter. In addition, Sky News presenter Helen Dalley was appointed as channel host. [8]
On 1 December 2016, News Corp Australia acquired A-PAC in a purchase which saw the company also acquire full ownership of the Australian News Channel. [9]
A-PAC content features live broadcasts from Australia's Parliament House in Canberra (including sittings of the House of Representatives, the Senate, parliamentary Committee meetings and political press conferences), the parliaments of New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland as well as sittings of the United States Congress, live broadcasts of speeches from the Australian National Press Club and a program which provides coverage of the New Zealand and British parliaments. Material from the United Nations and the European Parliament is also aired. [5] [4] [1]

At launch A-PAC was available via satellite and cable television on channel 607; and was later made available by Internet streaming on its website, as well as on free-to-air digital television in Sydney as a trial. [4]
On 15 November 2009, A-PAC's channel location for Foxtel changed from Channel 607 to Channel 648.
From 1 May 2016, the service's linear channel was replaced by Sky News Election Channel, resulting in the service only being available on the Sky News Multiview service and online. [10] [11] [12] Although the service was originally planned to relaunch as a linear channel on 30 November 2016, [12] this was later postponed, [13] and ultimately the linear channel did not return until 24 January 2017. [14] The relaunch did, however, see A-PAC obtain Sky News Election Channel's HD feed, [15] seeing the channel available in high definition for the first time.
A-PAC content is streamed on the Internet in Windows Media (wmv) formats with a choice of 160 kbit/s and 2 Mbit/s streaming bit rates. However, availability of the Internet-streamed content is limited. The wmv-only format means that A-PAC content cannot be streamed on popular mobile phones such as the iPhone. The audio channel is not streamed separately (as an audio stream), further limiting the potential audience.

Have You Been Paying Attention? (abbreviated as HYBPA?) is an Australian game show on Network Ten. The series, which is produced by Working Dog Productions, is a mix of news and comedy which sees host Tom Gleisner quiz five guests (of whom Ed Kavalee and Sam Pang are permanent panellists) on the weeks top news stories. [1] [2] The series first premiered on Network Ten on Sunday 3 November 2013.
Despite a disappointing start in ratings, and multiple changes in timeslot and format, the series has proven to be a consistent performer for Network Ten, having its ratings increase with successive seasons and receiving critical acclaim. [2] [3]
The series is currently in its fourth season, which premiered on 9 May 2016.
The series sees the host ask questions, of which only correct answers are rewarded with points. In addition to questions regarding the previous week's events, the contestants are also quizzed in various other games. Generally, two of these segments are played in each episode.
Over or Under: Each contestant individually watches a clip from RBT and must guess if the person is "over or under" the legal drinking limit (which is .05 in Australia).
Trash or Treasure: Each contestant individually watches a clip from Antiques Roadshow and must guess if the item the person has is worth under £1000 (trash) or is worth over £1000 (treasure).
Going, Going, Gone: A series of questions about famous items being sold over the past week and contestants must answer what it is famous for, or which famous person used or owned it.
Either/Or: The original variation of the above three and is used primarily to test the contestants' understanding of complicated (or amusing) names in the news.
General subject segments: News events from the past week which can be grouped into the categories of Showbiz or Sport.
Guest Quizmasters segment: Often about ten questions in length at each interval in the program. The questions asked are usually related to the guest quizmaster (e.g. a guest quizmaster who is appearing as they were formally a contestant on The Bachelor ask questions regarding events which occurred on the series).
Celebrity Questions: Added in 2016, a celebrity asks a set of questions based on them or their work. Similar to the Guest Quizmasters segment in nature.
Final Round: Titled Rapid Recall, this is the final segment of the show and sees contestants required to answer as quickly as possible as the segment is timed. This is the only segment during the show where the scores are not readily shown.
The series was first commissioned by Network Ten on 25 October 2013, with the first season to consist of 8 episodes which would air over the final four weeks of ratings season and first four weeks of Summer ratings. [4]
In February 2014, it was reported in an interview with host and co-executive producer Tom Gleisner that Network Ten had given the series an "open-ended" run for its 2014 season. [1] The second season premiered on 23 February 2014 in the new timeslot of 6pm Sunday. [1] On 9 April 2014, part way through the second season, it was announced that the show would be moved from the 6pm Sunday timeslot to 9.30pm Monday, and expanded to a one-hour format. The later timeslot would allow the series to include more adult themes. Following a six week hiatus, the show returned on Monday 19 May 2014. [5] [6] [3] Beginning on 14 July, season two moved an hour earlier to 8:30pm as a result of the low ratings of 24: Live Another Day which previously occupied the timeslot. [7]
On 29 September 2014, it was reported that a Year in Review special had been commissioned which would air later in the year. [8] The special aired on 17 November 2014, reviewing the top news stories of the past 12 months. [9]
On 14 November 2014, the series was renewed for a third season, [10] which premiered on 11 May 2015. [11]
A second Year in Review special aired following the third season, premiering on 23 November 2015. [12]
On 26 October 2015, the series was renewed for a fourth season, [13] which premiered on 9 May 2016. [14] In October 2016, part of the set was revamped to include illuminating buzzers and minor changes in graphics.[ citation needed]
The series is filmed at Network Ten studios in South Yarra, Melbourne in front of a live studio audience. [15] The series was originally filmed on a Saturday, [1] but successive seasons saw filming moved to Sundays. [16] Filming the day prior to airing, the series aims to be as current as possible. [1] [16] Due to the potentially offensive or inappropriate answers given by guests, alternate endings are filmed should episode winners change during post-production when such answers are excluded from airing. [16]
Have You Been Paying Attention? is an Australia game show on Network Ten. The series sees host Tom Gleisner quiz five guests on the previous weeks new stories. The first season, consisting of 8 episodes, premiered on 3 November 2013 and concluded on 22 December 2013. The second season of 26 episodes premiered on 23 February 2014 and finished on 29 September 2014. The 28 episode third season premiered on 11 May 2015 and concluded on 16 November 2015.
In addition to the regular seasons, one-off Year in Review specials have aired in both 2014 and 2015, which expand on the regular episode format by having guests examined on the top news stories of that year.
The fourth season premiered on 9 May 2016.
