FX Latin America is a cable television channel and is the Latin American version of the popular American television network FX. The channel does not share the same logo as its American counterpart. FX Latin America is intended as a counterpart to Fox Life, the first being produced for the male audience, while the latter is almost entirely programmed for the female viewers. It was launched in 2005.
Elena Landa, from Valencia, Venezuela, was elected the first Chica FX, through the 2006 reality show of the same name. World Wrestling Entertainment announced it would provide 208 hours of programming to FX Latin America from 2005 to 2007.
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.
From 2012, FX Latin America will air in HD across the continent

Famous quotes containing the words latin america, latin and/or america:
“Americans living in Latin American countries are often more snobbish than the Latins themselves. The typical American has quite a bit of money by Latin American standards, and he rarely sees a countryman who doesn’t. An American businessman who would think nothing of being seen in a sport shirt on the streets of his home town will be shocked and offended at a suggestion that he appear in Rio de Janeiro, for instance, in anything but a coat and tie.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
“In my dealing with my child, my Latin and Greek, my accomplishments and my money stead me nothing; but as much soul as I have avails. If I am wilful, he sets his will against mine, one for one, and leaves me, if I please, the degradation of beating him by my superiority of strength. But if I renounce my will, and act for the soul, setting that up as umpire between us two, out of his young eyes looks the same soul; he reveres and loves with me.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In America they carry latch-keys, and walk about with young gentlemen as young gentlemen walk about with each other.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
