Fox (formerly SuomiTV) is a Finnish entertainment TV channel owned and produced by Fox Networks Group (FNG) Nordic. The channel was acquired by FNG Nordic in January 2012, and then relaunched as the current incarnation on 16 April that year.
Fox is freely available in Finland both over-the-air and through cable, as it bases its funding on television advertisements. It is FIC Nordic's first channel that does not operate on subscriber fees.
The channel provides a free catch up service through its online platform FOXPlay
The channel features local content in Finnish language as well as high quality international fiction, factual entertainment, movies and lifestyle programs with Finnish subtitles.
Some of their main shows are:
Also they have a weekend movie block called "Fox Leffat" where they showcase different distributors content.
This is the only outlet to revive the Fox Kids name, which was phased out most of the world. Initially, it utilised the Fox Kids' global logo and on-screen branding from early 2000s, but it was later replaced by another logo and look.
The block offers foreign television programs aimed at a young audience dubbed into the Finnish language.
