7flix is an Australian free-to-air digital television multichannel, which was launched by the Seven Network on 28 February 2016.
On 18 December 2015, a test pattern began broadcasting on channel 76 reading "New Channel Coming Soon". Seven acknowledged the broadcast and director of programming Angus Ross formally announced on 1 February 2016 that Seven was launching a new channel and more details would be released soon. During the ad-break of miniseries Molly on 7 February 2016, Seven announced that channel 76 would be named 7flix and would be launched on 28 February 2016. The "New Channel" test pattern was then replaced with a continuous promo loop for 7flix.
7flix began broadcasting at 6am on 28 February 2016 in MPEG-4, as seen in a YouTube video showing the promo loop ending and a re-run of Once Upon A Time starting afterwards. The channel airs movies in its prime time slots with television series and other entertainment at other times. 7flix was added to Seven's live streaming service PLUS7 Live upon its launch.
On 13 April 2016, it was announced the channel would amend its schedule, shifting its focus from movies to more American dramas. This change began in the weeks prior when Grey's Anatomy premiered at 8:30pm, which was initially designated as a 'movie-exclusive' timeslot. The change also sees the addition of repeats of Criminal Minds to Thursday nights.
On 3 June 2016, 7flix became available on more TVs as the channel switched to MPEG-2.
Premiere series (mostly US series) appear such as Grandfathered, Galavant, Agent Carter as well as Once Upon A Time, The Muppets, The Mindy Project and The Amazing Race, which have previously debuted on the Seven Network, air new on 7flix.
