FOX UK is a television channel in the United Kingdom and Ireland, owned by 21st Century Fox. It launched on 12 January 2004 and was originally known as FX (in line with the American channel of the same name). Featuring a mix of animated comedies and American drama series, the channel's age demographic is adults aged 18 to 35 years old.
The channel launched on 12 January 2004 and was originally branded as FX289, in reference to its Sky EPG number.
In April 2005, the channel was rebranded as FX as it moved in the Sky EPG. As FX, the channel targeted a demographic of mainly males between 18 and 49 years old. Unlike FX in the USA, it promoted both FX-produced and non-FX-produced shows. Some of the most popular shows to air on the channel included Family Guy and American Dad!. It had a similar format to its American sister channel, with a schedule consisting largely of Fox-produced shows, including comedies such as Arrested Development, Futurama, The Simpsons, Family Guy and King of the Hill, and dramas such as Millennium, The Shield, The X-Files, Nip/tuck and NYPD Blue. 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, True Blood, Mob City and Dexter.
