Shows and Additional Details
- As well as British and American programming, the channel has aired a number of international programmes. These include Last Man Standing and The Nominees from Australia; Charlie Jade, a co-production between Canada and South Africa; and the Flemish series Matrioshki, which was shown with subtitles.
- For several weeks starting on the 5 December 2005, FX carried a strand of programming from the Fox-owned American channel FUEL TV. The strand was identified as "FX Presents FUEL TV", and made use of FUEL TV's US branding graphics. The strand ran for an hour from 10am, and was repeated in the early hours of the following morning.
- The channel's 2 hour timeshift service, FX +, was joined on Sky by FX +1 on 10 December 2007. The branding of sister timeshift channel FX + had not been changed to reflect this, causing confusion due to the two being very similar in name (FX +, FX +1), with viewers assuming a mistake or a double-over of the channel. On Monday 28 April 2008, FX +1 ceased broadcasting and its slot was replaced with FX HD.
- On 1 September 2008, to coincide with Sky's EPG reshuffle, FX + became a 1 hour timeshift.
- In February 2009, FX launched their first original program entitled 'No Signal'. The show is similar to the Channel 4 show The Kevin Bishop Show. This is because the layout is set out as a SKY TV system.
- D-Smart on FX HD broadcast will begin on 11 November

Famous quotes containing the words shows, additional and/or details:
“Oh, the shark has pretty teeth, dear—
And he shows them pearly white—
Just a jackknife has Macheath, dear—
And he keeps it out of sight.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
“Don’t you think I’ve had enough excitement for one evening, without the additional thrill of a strange man making love to me?”
—John L. Balderston (1899–1954)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
