FX is a television channel in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, owned by Fox, launched in 12 January 2004. It was originally branded as FX289 in reference to its Sky Digital EPG number. It was rebranded to FX in May 2005 as the channel began to move places on the Sky EPG.
FX targets a demographic between 25 to 44 year olds. Unlike its sister channel in the US, FX promotes both FX produced and non-FX produced shows. Some of the most popular shows which air on the channel include Family Guy and American Dad. 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, NCIS, NYPD Blue and Dexter. Non-Fox-produced shows rerun or receiving their UK premiere on the channel include Babylon 5, Carnivàle, Highlander, JAG, NCIS, Sleeper Cell, E-Ring and Huff, Generation Kill and True Blood
FX HD is a high definition television channel, which launched on Monday 28 April 2008 at 10pm in the UK and Ireland. It initially broadcast a completely separate schedule from the standard definition channel, with only HD contents and without ads.
FX HD was originally due to launch on 21 April, but as stated on the FX Forums, the reason why the date has been pushed back to 28 April 2008 was down to "technical difficulties at the transmission end".
The station broadcasts between 7pm and 2am every day.
On 24 April 2009 FX HD become a simulcast of FX, only broadcasting HD contents when possible.
