FX is an American television channel owned by the Walt Disney Company. It was originally launched on June 1, 1994, and it is currently based at Fox Studios in Century City, California.

At first, the company was known as “fX” and it broadcasted from a large apartment in Manhattan’s Flatiron District. Their broadcast schedule was similar to the one seen with HBO and Showtime, which included reruns of feature films and sitcoms.

FX was one of the first channels to use the Internet to interact with its viewers. They embraced e-mail and the Internet as communication tools and used them to obtain viewer feedback. Select viewers were allowed to visit the apartment and participate in shows.

In 1997, fX rebranded as FX. As well as airing top shows such as The X-Files and Married…With Children, they also broadcasted sports events like Major League Baseball and NASCAR.

Unlike other networks, FX took a risk by airing content rated as TV-MA (highest maturity rating). Despite calls from a few family organizations to boycott the programs with this rating, FX’s original programming schedule remained on air.

As a channel, FX streams a range of TV shows, the most popular being It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, The Leagues, Sons of Anarchy, The Shield, American Horror Story, Legion, Fargo, and more.

A significant part of FX’s primetime schedule comprises feature films from studios like Sony Pictures Entertainment, Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros, etc. They also broadcast television sitcoms such as Two and a Half Men and How I Met Your Mother.

Another part of the channel is sports programming. After getting the broadcast rights to NASCAR, they telecasted the race seasons for 5 consecutive years. The channel has also aired Major League Baseball games, soccer games and so on. In 2012, FX took on content from Ultimate Fighting Championship.

Today, FX is available to more than 89.2 million households in the USA. It also has multiple TV channel licenses for streaming in various countries around the world, including Canada and Europe. As a result of its diverse programming and TV-MA ratings, FX’s target audience is between 18 and 49 years old.
