Fox Channel (Latin American TV channel)


Fox Channel is a Latin American pay television channel, launched on 14 August 1993 as the localised version of the American television network Fox. The channel is mainly oriented towards family audiences, unlike its sister channel FX. Though it is a Spanish-language channel, the shows are referred to by their original names.
Fox Channel is operated by Disney Media Networks Latin America and The Walt Disney Company Latin America, both of which are owned by The Walt Disney Company
The channel took part in the worldwide premiere of The Walking Dead on November 1, 2010 and the Zombie Invasion Event promotion that led up to it. After the final episode of the first season of The Walking Dead aired, Fox released the uncensored version of the first episode.
In December 2010, the channel started using the RTC ratings in Mexico.
In November 2012, Fox including its sister channels were removed in various cable providers such as Cablevision Monterrey, and Cablemas due contract issues. The problem with Cablevision was fixed one day later.
