FX (UK)

FX is a television channel in the United Kingdom and Ireland, owned by Fox, launched in 12 January 2004. It was originally branded as FX289 in reference to its Sky EPG number. It was rebranded to FX in May 2005 as the channel moved in the Sky EPG. The channel will be rebranded as Fox on 11 January 2013 as it attempts to broaden its schedule.

FX targets a demographic between 25 to 44 year olds. Unlike its sister channel in the U.S., FX promotes both FX-produced and non-FX-produced shows. Some of the most popular shows which air on the channel include Family Guy and American Dad!. It has a similar format to its American sister channel, with a schedule consisting largely of Fox-produced shows, including comedy such as Family Guy and King of the Hill, and dramas such as The Shield, The X-Files, NYPD Blue and Dexter. Non-Fox-produced shows rerun or receiving their UK premiere on the channel include The Walking Dead, Falling Skies, Babylon 5, Carnivàle, Highlander, JAG, NCIS, Sleeper Cell, E-Ring and Huff, Generation Kill and True Blood.
