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  |

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

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.

Still nothing has been confirmed.
