Based at the [[20th Century Studios|Fox Studios]] lot in [[Century City]], Los Angeles, FX was originally launched by the first-incarnation [[News Corporation]] on June 1, 1994,<ref name="FXLaunches"/> and later became one of the properties that was included in [[acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney|Disney's acquisition]] of one of News Corporation's successor companies, [[21st Century Fox]], in 2019. The channel's original programming aspires to the standards of premium cable channels in regard to mature themes and content, high-quality writing, directing and acting. Sister channels [[FX Movie Channel|FXM]] and [[FXX]] were launched in 1994 and 2013, respectively. FX also carries [[rerun]]s of theatrical films and terrestrial-network [[sitcom]]s. Advertising-free content was available through the FX+ premium subscription service until it was shut down on August 21, 2019, after which ad free content moved to [[Hulu]] with no ads.

{{As of|2023|11}}, FX is available to approximately 71 million pay television households in the United States - down from its 2011 peak of 99 million households.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://wrestlenomics.com/u-s-cable-network-households-universe-1990-2023-nielsen-data/|title=U.S. cable network households (universe), 1990 – 2023|website=wrestlenomics.com|date=May 14, 2024|access-date=May 15, 2024}}</ref> In addition to the flagship U.S. network, the "FX" name is licensed to a number of related [[pay television]] channels in various countries around the world.

==History==

===1994–1997: "TV Made Fresh Daily" ===
FX, originally stylized as "fX", launched on June 1, 1994. Broadcasting from a large "[[apartment]]" in [[Manhattan]]'s [[Flatiron District, Manhattan|Flatiron District]], fX was one of the first forays into large-scale [[interactive television]]. The channel centered on original programming, which was broadcast live every day from the "fX Apartment", and rebroadcasts of classic television shows from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, such as ''[[The Fall Guy]]'', ''[[Batman (TV series)|Batman]]'', ''[[Wonder Woman (TV series)|Wonder Woman]]'', ''[[Eight Is Enough]]'', ''[[Nanny and the Professor]],'' and ''[[The Green Hornet (TV series)|The Green Hornet]]''.<ref name="FXLaunches">{{cite web |url=https://www.dailypress.com/news/dp-xpm-19940601-1994-06-01-9406010237-story.html |title=FX Is Ready to Interface |last=Manuel |first=Mendoza |publisher=Dallas Morning News |date=June 1, 1994 |website=Daily Press |access-date=June 26, 2020 |archive-date=August 3, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200803122958/https://www.dailypress.com/news/dp-xpm-19940601-1994-06-01-9406010237-story.html |url-status=live }}</ref> fX had two taglines during this period: "TV Made Fresh Daily" and "The World's First Living Television Network".<ref>{{cite journal|title=Street Cred|url=https://www.wired.com/wired/archive/3.09/streetcred.html?pg=14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090719183309/http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/3.09/streetcred.html?pg=14|archive-date=July 19, 2009|journal=[[Wired (website)|Wired]]|date=January 4, 2009|access-date=July 28, 2011}}</ref> The "f" in the channel's name and logo was rendered in lower-case to portray a type of relaxed friendliness; the stylized "X" represented the channel's roots: the crossing searchlights of the [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] logo.

The live shows were each mostly focused on one broad topic. Shows included ''Personal fX'' (collectibles and antiques), ''The Pet Department'' (pets), ''Under Scrutiny with [[Jane Wallace (journalist)|Jane Wallace]]'' (news) and ''Sound fX'' (music). {{anchor|breakfast_time}} The channel's flagship show, ''Breakfast Time'', hosted by [[Laurie Hibberd]] and [[Tom Bergeron]] and inspired by the British morning show ''[[The Big Breakfast]]'', was formatted like an informal magazine show. ''Breakfast Time'' and ''Personal fX'' would regularly feature the channel's "roving reporters" – which included [[Suzanne Whang]], John Burke and [[Phil Keoghan]] – visiting unique places around the United States live via satellite. Other notable fX personalities included [[Karyn Bryant]] and [[Orlando Jones]], who were panelists on ''Sound fX''.

The channel prided itself on its interactivity with viewers. fX, in 1994, was an early adopter of the internet, embracing [[e-mail]] and the [[World Wide Web]] as methods of feedback. Most of the shows would feature instant responses to e-mailed questions, and one show, ''[[Backchat (1995 TV series)|Backchat]]'' (hosted by [[Jeff Probst]]), was exclusively devoted to responding to viewer mail, whether sent through e-mail or traditional postal mail. Select viewers were allowed to spend a day at the "apartment" and take part in all of the channel's shows. Inside the channel's syndicated programming blocks, channel hosts would frequently appear during commercial breaks to read news headlines, respond to e-mails from viewers about the episode that was airing, or to promote upcoming programming.

In 1995, [[Liberty Media]] purchased a 50% stake in the network as part of their alliance with News Corporation to form [[Fox Sports Networks|Fox Sports Net]]; as a part of this plan, fX became the national home for Fox Sports programming over the next few years.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Flint |first=Joe |date=1995-12-11 |title=Cabler FX considers sporting new image |url=https://variety.com/1995/tv/features/cabler-fx-considers-sporting-new-image-99130301/ |access-date=2023-02-12 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}</ref>

The first incarnation of fX was not available on [[Time Warner Cable]], one of the major cable systems in New York City, where its programming originated. TWC would not carry the channel until September 2001.<ref>{{cite news|title=SPECIAL 'FX' TO HIT NEW YORK CABLE|url=http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/entertainment/special-fx-hit-new-york-cable-article-1.926350|newspaper=[[Daily News (New York)|New York Daily News]]|first=Richard|last=Huff|date=August 17, 2001|access-date=August 25, 2014|archive-date=August 26, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140826115214/http://www.nydailynews.com/archives/entertainment/special-fx-hit-new-york-cable-article-1.926350|url-status=live}}</ref>

The live shows gradually disappeared one by one until only ''Personal fX'' remained. ''Breakfast Time'' was moved to the [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] network and renamed ''[[Fox After Breakfast]]'' in mid-1996. It underwent several format changes, but never found a substantial audience and was canceled less than a year later. By the time that all live programming (with the exception of ''Personal fX'') was dropped, the channel focused entirely on its classic television shows until its relaunch in mid-1997. ''Personal fX'' remained on the refocused FX until May 1, 1998. FX vacated the "apartment" in the summer of 1998 and the channel's operations were streamlined with the other Fox-owned subscription channels.

===1997–2001: "Fox Gone Cable"===
In early 1997, fX was relaunched as "FX: Fox Gone Cable",<ref>{{cite web |url=https://variety.com/2005/tv/news/the-two-faces-of-fox-1117920089/ |title=The two faces of Fox |last1=Schneider |first1=Michael |last2=Martin |first2=Denise |date=March 25, 2005 |website=Variety |access-date=June 26, 2020 |archive-date=June 29, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200629102324/https://variety.com/2005/tv/news/the-two-faces-of-fox-1117920089/ |url-status=live }}</ref> refocusing the channel's target audience towards men aged 18 to 49. During the first few years after its relaunch, FX was known for little else than airing reruns of such Fox shows as ''[[The X-Files]]'' and ''[[Married... with Children]]'', as well as [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]]-produced shows such as ''[[M*A*S*H (TV series)|M*A*S*H]]'' and ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. The channel also added [[Major League Baseball]] games to its lineup at that time (at one point sharing rights with then-sister network [[Television networks preceding ABC Family|Fox Family]]), and eventually expanded its sports programming to include [[NASCAR]] races in 2001.

In the summer of 1998, FX debuted three original series: ''[[Bobcat's Big Ass Show]]'', ''Instant Comedy with [[the Groundlings]]'' and ''[[Penn & Teller's Sin City Spectacular]]''. All three series were cancelled the following year. Soon after its relaunch, the "Fox Gone Cable" tagline was dropped. By 1999, new original television shows were added with the debut of shows such as ''[[Son of the Beach]]'' (a ''[[Baywatch]]'' parody that starred [[Timothy Stack]] and was executive produced by [[Howard Stern]]) and ''[[The X Show]]'' (a male-oriented late night panel talk show).<ref>{{cite news|title=FX gets a makeover|url=https://www.nexttv.com/news/fx-gets-makeover-86451|work=[[Broadcasting & Cable]]|date=May 7, 2000|access-date=February 20, 2022|archive-date=August 26, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140826114554/http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/news-articles/fx-gets-makeover/86451|url-status=live}}</ref> The channel also acquired the pay-television syndication rights to reruns of series such as ''[[Ally McBeal]]'', ''[[NYPD Blue]]'' and ''[[The Practice]]'' for then-record high prices then unseen in the pay-television industry despite all three [[20th Century Fox Television]] series being under common ownership; when these shows expensively fumbled in primetime, FX predominantly ran movies in its more high-profile time periods, though with the move of premiere film rights from free-to-air broadcast networks to basic cable channels, FX unexpectedly would end up a benefactor of this change.

===2002–2007: Emergence in Original Programming===
Beginning in 2002, FX emerged as a major force in original pay-television programming, gaining both acclaim and notoriety for edgy dramas. That year, FX debuted the police drama ''[[The Shield]]'', which became a breakout hit. This trend continued the following year with ''[[Nip/Tuck]]'', a drama about two plastic surgeons, and the [[Denis Leary]]-helmed ''[[Rescue Me (American TV series)|Rescue Me]]'', about the lives of a crew of firemen from the [[New York City Fire Department]] post-[[September 11 attacks|9/11]]. Both shows were lauded by critics, and achieved equal success with viewers. ''Rescue Me'' was one of the few television series to be given an order for an additional season prior to the broadcast of its most recent season: in June 2009 FX renewed the show for an 18-episode sixth season, although the fifth season had not premiered at the time.<ref>{{cite news|title="Rescue Me": Has This Season Saved the Show?|url=https://www.tvguide.com/news/rescue-me-leary-1006913/|work=[[TV Guide]]|date=June 15, 2009|access-date=February 20, 2022|archive-date=April 14, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140414034834/http://www.tvguide.com/news/rescue-me-leary-1006913.aspx|url-status=live}}</ref>

Unlike many broadcast networks, FX has chosen to take risks with its programming and push the envelope of what can be shown on television; as a result, most (though not all) of the channel's original series are rated [[TV Parental Guidelines|TV-MA]], often for strong profanity, sexual content, and/or violence. Family organizations such as the [[Parents Television Council]] (PTC) and [[American Family Association]] (AFA), have asked advertisers to [[boycott]] these shows due to their graphic content.<ref>{{cite web|title=Issue details|url=http://www.onemillionmoms.com/IssueDetail.asp?id=289|work=OneMillionMoms.com|access-date=July 28, 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080202213141/http://www.onemillionmoms.com/IssueDetail.asp?id=289|archive-date=February 2, 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=PTC aims at FX's The Shield|url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA210736.html|work=[[Broadcasting & Cable]]|first=Paige|last=Albiniak|date=April 9, 2002|access-date=March 22, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081230074847/http://www.broadcastingcable.com:80/article/CA210736.html?q=PTC+aims+at+FX%27s+%22The+Shield%22|archive-date=December 30, 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref> Despite this, FX's original programming output, outside of a few shows, has been critically acclaimed for their strong storylines and characters.

Capitalizing on the success of the hit documentary ''[[Super Size Me]]'', filmmaker [[Morgan Spurlock]] launched a new series, ''[[30 Days (TV series)|30 Days]]'', which debuted on FX in June 2005. The series place its subjects in situations uncomfortable to them for 30 days, such as making millionaires work for [[minimum wage]], and having [[Christianity|Christians]] live in a [[Muslim]] community.

In the summer of 2005, FX debuted two new comedy series, ''[[Starved]]'', about the daily lives of four friends with [[eating disorder]]s who live in New York City; and ''[[It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia]]'', about the usually very [[Political correctness|politically incorrect]] comic misadventures of four people who own a bar in the [[Philadelphia|titular city]]. Both of these shows feature frank sexual dialogue and strong language, and were pitched as "The Dark Side of Comedy". ''Starved'' was derided by groups that sought to publicize eating disorders and was cancelled after its first season due to low ratings. Conversely, ''Sunny'' quickly became a critical darling, consistently achieved high viewership, and was picked up for a second season within days of its first-season finale. The second season added veteran actor [[Danny DeVito]] to the cast, and the show, still airing as of 2024, is the [[List of longest-running American television series|longest-running live-action sitcom]] in history.

In 2006, FX debuted two new series, the [[reality television|reality series]] ''[[Black. White.]]'' and the drama ''[[Thief (miniseries)|Thief]]''; neither series was picked up for a second season. During 2007, FX introduced three new dramas: ''[[Dirt (TV series)|Dirt]]'', starring [[Courteney Cox]]; ''[[The Riches]]'', starring [[Eddie Izzard]] and [[Minnie Driver]]; and ''[[Damages (TV series)|Damages]]'', starring [[Glenn Close]], [[Ted Danson]] and [[Rose Byrne]]. All three performed well in the ratings and were renewed for second seasons. By 2008, FX was available in 90.6 million homes in the United States.

===2008–2018: Subsequent Times===
[[File:FX 2008 logo.svg|thumb|160px|FX logo used from 2008 to 2013]]

In 2008, FX launched a new branding campaign built around the theme "There Is No Box." It alluded to the phrase "[[thinking outside the box]]" and referred to how the channel's programming goes beyond "the box" concept. In addition, this was a pun related to FX's creating original shows to compete against premium channels such as [[HBO]]. FX's logo was updated on December 18, 2007, retaining only the FX [[wordmark]] while removing searchlights placed to its left since the 1997 rebrand. The new branding included an advertising campaign featuring a post-game ad for FX during Fox's coverage of [[Super Bowl XLII]].<ref>{{cite news|title=Box?

During 2008, competition with other pay-television channels increased. This was evident in the second season ratings for series ''Dirt'' and ''The Riches'', whose ratings decreased significantly from their freshman seasons. During some weeks, viewership for both shows barely exceeded 1 million. Both shows were cancelled in 2008; acquired shows ''[[Dharma and Greg]]'', ''Buffy the Vampire Slayer'', ''Married... with Children'' and ''[[Fear Factor]]'' were also removed from the schedule.{{citation needed|date=April 2014}}

On September 3, 2008, FX debuted ''[[Sons of Anarchy]]'', a drama series created by [[Kurt Sutter]] (who previously served as executive producer of ''The Shield'') about a fictional [[outlaw motorcycle club]] devoted to protecting their sheltered [[California]] town from corporate developers and drug dealers; its September premiere coincided with that of ''The Shield''{{'}}s final season. ''Sons of Anarchy'' became a critical and commercial success, having aired for seven seasons {{as of|2014|lc=y}}. In 2010, the series attracted an average of 4.9 million viewers per week, making it ''FX''{{'}}s highest rated series to date.<ref>{{Cite magazine |url=http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2010/10/07/fx-renews-sons-of-anarchy/ |title=FX Renews Sons of Anarchy |date=October 7, 2010 |access-date=October 7, 2010 |magazine=Entertainment Weekly |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101008173329/http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2010/10/07/fx-renews-sons-of-anarchy/ |archive-date=October 8, 2010  }}</ref> Other new shows that premiered in 2008 included the [[Kenny Hotz]] comedy ''[[Testees]]'', which debuted in October 2008 and was cancelled after its first season.{{citation needed|date=April 2014}} In August 2008, FX relaunched its website, adding streaming of full episodes of its original shows. In 2009, reruns of the former [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] sitcom ''[[Spin City]]'' were removed from the schedule (though it was restored early the following year).

In July 2009, FX ordered three new comedy pilots: ''[[Archer (2009 TV series)|Archer]]'', an animated series featuring a spy agency, which premiered on January 14, 2010;<ref>[http://tv.ign.com/articles/100/1003559p1.html Animated Archer Coming to FX] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090719041955/http://tv.ign.com/articles/100/1003559p1.html |date=July 19, 2009 }}, ''[[IGN]]'', July 14, 2009</ref> ''[[The League]]'', with a group of friends who are part of a [[fantasy football (American)|fantasy football]] league;<ref>{{cite news|title=New Fantasy Football Comedy Pilot|url=http://tv.ign.com/articles/100/1003941p1.html|work=IGN|date=July 15, 2009|access-date=July 19, 2009|archive-date=July 19, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090719124813/http://tv.ign.com/articles/100/1003941p1.html|url-status=live}}</ref> and ''[[Louie (American TV series)|Louie]]'', a sitcom starring stand-up comedian and writer [[Louis C.K.]], which "blend[s] [[stand-up comedy|stand-up]] material with&nbsp;...

In March 2010, the channel debuted ''[[Justified (TV series)|Justified]]'', a drama series created by [[Graham Yost]] based on [[Elmore Leonard]]'s short story "Fire in the Hole" (which was the series' original [[working title]]). It starred [[Timothy Olyphant]] as U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens – a tough, soft-spoken lawman with a rough side – and chronicles his cases and personal life, including unfinished business with an ex-wife and his aging father.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://entertainment.time.com/2009/12/01/fxs-former-lawman-gets-justified/|title=FX's Former Lawman Gets Justified|last=Poniewozik|first=James|date=December 1, 2009|magazine=[[Time (magazine)|Time]] |access-date=December 13, 2009|archive-date=December 13, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091213012428/http://tunedin.blogs.time.com/2009/12/01/fxs-former-lawman-gets-justified/|url-status=live}}</ref> FX also picked up the crime comedy-drama ''[[Terriers (TV series)|Terriers]]'', created by [[Ted Griffin]], for its fall 2010 lineup; in 2011, the channel debuted the boxing drama ''[[Lights Out (2011 TV series)|Lights Out]]'', about retired boxing champion Patrick "Lights" Leary who is considering a comeback, despite the serious risks it entails. Despite the critical acclaim that ''Terriers'' and ''Lights Out'' received, the two series were cancelled after their first seasons due to low viewership; For ''Terriers'' specifically, FX Networks president and General Manager [[John Landgraf]] would later admit in a 2016 interview with critic [[Alan Sepinwall]] that "I cannot think of a more painful moment of my career than the one when I defined ''Terriers'' as a failure by canceling it."<ref name=SepinwallBestNetwork>{{cite web|last1=Sepinwall|first1=Alan|title=How FX Became TV's Best, Most Reliable Network|url=http://uproxx.com/entertainment/how-fx-became-tvs-best-most-reliable-network/|website=[[Uproxx]]|publisher=[[Woven Digital]]|access-date=February 19, 2017|date=September 14, 2016|archive-date=February 20, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170220011918/http://uproxx.com/entertainment/how-fx-became-tvs-best-most-reliable-network/|url-status=live}}</ref>

On October 1, 2010, parent company [[News Corporation]] (which spun off FX and the company's other U.S.-based entertainment properties to [[21st Century Fox]] in July 2013) pulled its channels from [[Dish Network]] due to a [[carriage dispute]] over [[retransmission consent]] revenue. FX returned to the satellite provider's channel lineup on October 29, 2010, after Dish Network and News Corporation signed a long-term carriage agreement. On November 1, 2010, following a similar dispute, FX and its sister channels were restored by New York City-based cable provider [[Cablevision]] through a separate carriage agreement.{{citation needed|date=April 2014}}

On October 14, 2011, FX announced it picked up the rights to develop a series based on ''[[Scar Tissue (autobiography)|Scar Tissue]]'' and ''Lords of the Sunset Strip'', the autobiographies of the [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]] singer [[Anthony Kiedis]] and his father, Blackie Dammett. HBO had picked up the series, which was to be titled ''Spider & Son'', a few years before but never completed the project. ''[[Entourage (American TV series)|Entourage]]'' writer/producers Marc Abrams and Mike Benson were tapped as its [[showrunner]]s and Kiedis was to be involved as a co-producer.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.cinemablend.com/television/Anthony-Kiedis-Scar-Tissue-Moves-From-HBO-FX-36054.html |title=Anthony Kiedis' Scar Tissue Moves From HBO To FX |publisher=Cinemablend.com |date=October 14, 2011 |access-date=April 21, 2013 |archive-date=April 14, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200414113645/https://www.cinemablend.com/television/Anthony-Kiedis-Scar-Tissue-Moves-From-HBO-FX-36054.html |url-status=live }}</ref> Dammett said in 2013 that the show has been "mothballed", and he hopes interest will resume on the project once the Red Hot Chili Peppers wrapped up their world tour that year.

In 2013, FX underwent a rebranding to accompany its new comedy-focused spin-off channel [[FXX]], including the new slogan "Fearless"; Landgraf explained that the slogan symbolized that viewers of its programming "don't know what's going to happen and that you're not in a safe place that is governed by [[Guard rail|guardrails]] that are going to keep you from going off."<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-06-01 |title=Inside FX's "Fearless" Rise To TV Domination |url=https://www.fastcompany.com/40425927/inside-fxs-fearless-rise-to-tv-domination |access-date=2023-10-24 |website=Fast Company |last1=Ifeanyi |first1=KC }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=FX Launches New Cable Channel, Touts "Fearless" Development Slate |url=https://www.tvguide.com/news/fx-launches-new-channel-1063264/ |access-date=2023-10-25 |website=TVGuide.com |language=en}}</ref>

On April 8, 2019, FX Networks had acquired off-network rights to ''[[Family Guy]]'', starting with its sixteenth season and ''[[Bob's Burgers]]'', starting with its ninth season. ''Family Guy'' began airing on FXX on April 16, 2019, while ''Bob's Burgers'' made its debut on September 24, 2019. FXX shares the rights to ''Family Guy'' with sister network [[Freeform (TV channel)|Freeform]]. [[WarnerMedia]]'s [[Adult Swim]] and [[TBS (American TV channel)|TBS]] held the rights to older seasons of both shows; WarnerMedia's rights to ''Family Guy'' expired on September 18, 2021, at which point reruns are exclusive to FX Networks and Freeform, with the rights to ''Bob's Burgers'' similarly coming under FX Networks' full control in 2023.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2019/04/fx-networks-nabs-off-network-rights-to-family-guy-bobs-burgers-fxx-to-share-family-guy-with-freeform-1202591604/|title=FX Networks Nabs Off-Network Rights To 'Family Guy' & 'Bob's Burgers'; FXX To Share 'Family Guy' With Freeform|last1=Andreeva|first1=Nellie|date=April 8, 2019|website=Deadline|language=en|access-date=April 23, 2019|archive-date=August 4, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190804045923/https://deadline.com/2019/04/fx-networks-nabs-off-network-rights-to-family-guy-bobs-burgers-fxx-to-share-family-guy-with-freeform-1202591604/|url-status=live}}</ref>

On May 14, 2019, [[Comcast]] relinquished its control in [[Hulu]] to Disney effective immediately.

In December 2021, Disney renamed the "FX on Hulu" hub to simply "FX" as part of an effort to streamline and extend the brand's use. In addition, Disney began to increase the prominence of FX as an [[Imprint (trade name)|imprint]] on its original programming, especially when carried on Disney's international streaming platforms such as [[Disney+]] ([[Star (Disney+)|Star]]) and [[Star+]].<ref>{{cite news|title='FX on Hulu' Brand Is Getting Scrapped|url=https://variety.com/2021/digital/news/fx-on-hulu-branding-phased-out-1235126567/|work=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]|last=Spangler|first=Todd|date=December 6, 2021}}</ref>

==Programming==
{{Main|List of programs broadcast by FX}}
FX's most popular original shows include ''[[Justified (TV series)|Justified]]'', ''[[Damages (TV series)|Damages]]'', ''[[Nip/Tuck]]'', ''[[Rescue Me (American TV series)|Rescue Me]]'', ''[[It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia]]'', ''[[The League]]'', ''[[Sons of Anarchy]]'', ''[[The Shield]]'', ''[[The Strain (TV series)|The Strain]]'', ''[[Archer (2009 TV series)|Archer]]'', ''[[American Horror Story]]'', ''[[Anger Management (TV series)|Anger Management]]'', ''[[The Americans]]'', ''[[Better Things (TV series)|Better Things]]'', ''[[Louie (American TV series)|Louie]]'', ''[[You're the Worst]]'', ''[[Fargo (TV series)|Fargo]]'', ''[[American Crime Story]]'', ''[[Legion (TV series)|Legion]]'', ''[[Snowfall (TV series)|Snowfall]]'' and ''[[Atlanta (TV series)|Atlanta]]''.

The channel also broadcasts theatrically released feature films from sister companies [[Walt Disney Pictures]], [[Marvel Studios]], and [[20th Century Studios]] as well as other [[film studio]]s such as [[Columbia Pictures]], [[Sony Pictures Animation]], [[Universal Pictures]], [[Paramount Pictures]], [[Lionsgate Films]], [[Relativity Media]], [[Village Roadshow Pictures]],  [[Warner Bros. Pictures]], [[DreamWorks Pictures]], and [[DreamWorks Animation]] which take up much of FX's primetime and the majority of its weekend schedules. It airs repeats of network television sitcoms (such as ''[[Two and a Half Men]]'' and ''[[How I Met Your Mother]]''). From the late 1990s to the mid-2000s, the acquired shows which FX broadcast consisted largely of series originally broadcast on Fox between the late 1980s and the 2000s (such as ''[[That '70s Show]]'', ''[[Married... with Children]]'', and ''[[In Living Color]]'').

===Sports programming===
FX has served as a supplemental sports outlet for its sister networks, first broadcasting [[Fox Sports (United States)|Fox Sports]]-produced programming under News Corporation's and 21st Century Fox's ownership, and [[ESPN]]-produced programming since the Disney acquisition of FX.

After obtaining the spring [[NASCAR on Fox|broadcast rights]] to [[NASCAR]], [[Fox Sports (United States)|Fox Sports]] announced that FX would serve as its cable partner for the 2001 inaugural season of race telecasts. As a result, FX covered several races in the series then known as the [[Nationwide Series|Busch Series]] and [[Sprint Cup Series|Winston Cup]] (including the [[NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race|All-Star Race]]), as well as select qualifying and final practice sessions. Having FX carry the race telecasts was intended to promote the channel and encourage NASCAR fans to contact their subscription providers to add FX to their lineup. In 2002, [[Peter Liguori]], who was then president of FX, praised NASCAR for its growth; FX increased penetration from 58.5 million to 76.6 million households nationwide.<ref>[http://www.nascar.com/2002/races/ontv/headlines/04/11/fx_mville FX Credits NASCAR for Growth] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081212214151/http://www.nascar.com/2002/races/ontv/headlines/04/11/fx_mville/ |date=December 12, 2008 }}, ''NASCAR.com'', April 11, 2002.</ref> FX was removed from Fox's NASCAR coverage in the 2007 season, which saw the Busch Series move exclusively to [[NASCAR on ESPN|ESPN]], and Fox aired all of Nextel Cup races on broadcast television.

In [[1997 Major League Baseball season|1997]], FX obtained partial cable rights to [[Major League Baseball]] games; FX initially aired game telecasts on Monday nights, before moving them to Saturday nights in 1998. In 2000, FX began sharing the cable rights with then-sister network [[Television networks preceding ABC Family|Fox Family Channel]] (taking rights to the league's Thursday evening games from [[Fox Sports Networks|Fox Sports Net]]), with games being scheduled on an alternating basis with FX. Starting with the 2001 season, FX also obtained rights to games from the [[Division Series|MLB Division Series]], the only playoff round to which Fox did not hold television rights. Among the games televised on FX was [[Cal Ripken Jr.]]'s final home game with the [[Baltimore Orioles]] in September 2001.

On April 27, 2011, FX began airing [[association football|soccer]] games from the [[UEFA Champions League]] as part of the league's overall television deal with Fox Sports. In the fall of 2011, FX began broadcasting [[Big 12 Conference|Big 12]], [[Conference USA]] and [[Pac-12 Conference|Pac-12]] [[college football]] games on Saturdays (mainly primetime games, with some daytime games mixed in), as part of Fox Sports' [[Fox College Football|broadcasting contracts]] with the three conferences.<ref>{{cite web|last=Lafayette|first=Jon|title=FX Tackles College Football|url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/465808-FX_Tackles_College_Football.php|work=Broadcasting & Cable|access-date=March 27, 2011|date=March 27, 2011|archive-date=October 6, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121006095824/http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/465808-FX_Tackles_College_Football.php|url-status=live}}</ref>

With the August 2013 launches of national sports networks [[Fox Sports 1]] and [[Fox Sports 2]], FX no longer served as a regular cable outlet for Fox Sports, but it still occasionally aired sporting events in the event of overflow situations, such as the [[UFC 185]] preliminary card,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mazique |first=Brian |title=UFC 185 Results: Winners and Scorecards from Pettis vs. Dos Anjos Fight Card |url=https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2397068-ufc-185-results-winners-and-scorecards-from-pettis-vs-dos-anjos-fight-card |access-date=2023-02-22 |website=Bleacher Report |language=en}}</ref> and selected soccer matches.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Harris |first=Christopher |date=July 1, 2016 |title=Most-watched Copa America Centenario games on FOX Sports |url=http://worldsoccertalk.com/2016/07/01/watched-copa-america-centenario-games-fox-sports/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160715100933/http://worldsoccertalk.com/2016/07/01/watched-copa-america-centenario-games-fox-sports/ |archive-date=July 15, 2016 |access-date=June 28, 2019 |website=World Soccer Talk |language=en-US}}</ref>

On September 7, 2019, FX would air the preliminary card for [[UFC 242]]. The event was being held in Abu Dhabi, which created conflicts with Saturday afternoon [[ESPN College Football|college football]] games on [[ESPN]] and [[ESPN2]]; it marked the first ESPN-produced sporting event to air on FX since the Disney acquisition of FX.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Steinberg |first=Brian |date=August 17, 2019 |title=Disney Plans UFC Broadcast for FX |url=https://variety.com/2019/digital/news/disney-espn-ufc-fx-1203305188/ |access-date=May 17, 2022 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}</ref> For similar reasons, FX also aired the preliminary card for [[UFC 309]] on Saturday, November 16, 2024.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Skarka|first=Michael|date=November 2024 |title=UFC 309: Jones vs. Miocic {{!}} Saturday, Nov. 16 |url=https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2024/11/ufc-309-jones-vs-miocic-saturday-nov-16/ |access-date=November 17, 2024 |website=ESPN Press Room|language=en-US}}</ref> ESPN called UFC 309 airing on FX "a success" and announced that the subsequent UFC event, [[UFC 310]], would have its preliminary card simulcast on ESPN2 and FX.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2024/12/ufc-310-pantoja-vs-asakura-saturday-dec-7/|title=UFC 310: Pantoja vs. Asakura <nowiki>|</nowiki> Saturday, Dec. 7|publisher=ESPN Press Room|date=December 5, 2024|access-date=December 5, 2024}}</ref> In 2025, [[UFC 311]], [[UFC 320]], [[UFC 321]] and [[UFC 322]], would also air on FX.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Skarka|first=Michael|url=https://espnpressroom.com/us/press-releases/2025/01/ufc-311-makhachev-vs-tsarukyan-2-saturday-jan-18/|title=UPDATE – UFC 311: Makhachev vs. Moicano <nowiki>|</nowiki> Saturday, Jan. 18|publisher=ESPN Press Room|date=January 16, 2025|access-date=February 16, 2025}}</ref>

On May 17, 2022, Disney announced that it had acquired the exclusive broadcast rights to the [[XFL (2020)|XFL]] beginning with its [[2023 XFL season|2023 season]], with games airing on FX, ESPN, and ABC;<ref>{{Cite web |last=Steinberg |first=Brian |date=May 17, 2022 |title=Disney Strikes Deal to Put XFL on ESPN, FX, ABC |url=https://variety.com/2022/tv/news/disney-xfl-rights-deal-espn-fx-1235269996/ |access-date=May 17, 2022 |website=Variety |language=en-US}}</ref> FX was included in the package to accommodate ESPN and ABC's existing programming commitments.

==High definition==
FX began broadcasting a [[720p]] [[high-definition television|HD]] channel in 2007, which is available on the majority of pay television providers. The SD channel, as was standard with all of Fox's broadcast and pay-TV networks (and also its new Disney siblings, which also all operate in 720p), is now merely downscaled from the HD feed at the provider headend level rather than having a devoted SD feed. 

FX's programming on Hulu is streamed at a higher [[bitrate]] and resolution, with its FX on Hulu-era shows produced and aired in up to [[4k resolution]].

==International distribution==
{{main|FX (international)}}
Since 2004, Fox overseen the expansion of FX's to international markets, as well as forming several distribution partnerships to syndicate FX programs to other broadcast networks, cable channels, and video services on request outside the United States.

In March 2019, Disney [[Acquisition of 21st Century Fox by Disney|acquired]] [[21st Century Fox]], after the acquisition Disney would expand the network more by rebranding several [[Fox (international)|Fox]] networks in the Baltic states, CIS, Greece and Poland as FX, as result of the acquisition.<ref name="FXLifeBaltics">{{Cite news |title=Pange tähele!
