FX is a British TV channel owned by Fox, launched in 2004 and originally branded as FX289 in reference to its Sky Digital EPG number. The channel was moved to 270 in May 2005, and dropped the 289 part of its name. It has moved twice subsequently; first, in February 2006, the channel moved to 179, then it relocated to 165 in May 2007. It is now also available on the Virgin Media cable network. It was the third Fox-branded channel for the UK, after Fox News Channel and Fox Kids (later Jetix).
The target ages is those aged 25 to 44. It has a similar format to its American sister channel FX Networks, with a schedule consisting largely of Fox-produced shows, including comedy such as Family Guy and King of the Hill, and dramas such as The Shield, The X Files and NYPD Blue. Non-Fox-produced shows rerun or receiving their UK premier on the channel include Carnivàle, Highlander, JAG, NCIS, Sleeper Cell, E-Ring and Huff . FX broadcasts a timeshift service, FX+. Unlike most UK timeshift services, which shift the channel by one hour, FX+ is shifted by two hours. This is because FX's schedule "revolves around two hour blocks of ... programming between 9pm and 11pm on weeknights".[2]
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.[3]
