FOX+ used to be a 2 hour timeshift of FOX back then it was known as FX. At a guess when FX+ went to just a 1 hour timeshift of FX they decided to just keep it as FX+ now known as FOX+.
Confusing i know lol.

It's the Forum behind the Forum where all the good gossip and info is. All the juicy info is shared via PM between a chosen few. I know because sometimes I'm in and about the info too :D

Just rumours atm ;)

Is Fox News (the comedy channel) run by the same people as Fox? As in Fox International Channels?

Happy birthday (if its tomorrow) markC! :)

The Nat Geo partnership was with BSKYB initially however News Corporation (now 21st Century Fox) Sky's parent company purchased all BSKYB's interests in the channel.

I wasn't disputing your info , Fox International channels is part of the newly formed 21st Century Fox , I was merely stating the partnership was initially between Nat Geo and BSKYB , BSKYB's share was bought by Fox International channels part of 21st Century Fox.

I still think something is in the wind - due to Bid Plus being remove from Virgin Channel 746 last night.

Still nothing has been confirmed.

Going back to 2007 I think more channels has launch on Tuesdays then Thursdays (I would say 60/40).
