Fox was a series of international
television channels operated by
Fox Networks Group , a division of
21st Century Fox . The network was affiliated with
Fox Broadcasting Company from its inception until
Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox in 2019.
In the following years, several Fox networks worldwide were renamed, with most adopting the formerly Asian-centric brand
Star based upon the Star hub available on Disney+ (or transitioned to being branded as
Star Channel ), while networks in the
Baltic states , CIS, Greece and Poland instead transitioned to being branded as
FX , and certain other networks were discontinued outright due to dwindling ratings and to refocus its resources for
Disney+ .
