Star Channel (formerly known as Fox and Fox Channel) is a Latin American pay television channel operated by Disney Media Networks Latin America, a part of The Walt Disney Company Latin America. The channel is mainly oriented towards family audiences, unlike its sister channel FX which is aimed at young males. Most shows retain their original English-language titles.
The channel was originally launched as Fox, a localized version of the American television network Fox Broadcasting Company. The Spanish-language broadcast began on 14 August 1993 and the Portuguese-language broadcast began on 17 September 1994.
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 (Radio, Televisión y Cinematografía) in Mexico.
In November 2012, Fox including its sister channels were removed in various cable providers such as Cablevision Monterrey, and Cablemás[1] due to contract issues. The problem with Cablevision was fixed one day later.
On November 27, 2020, Disney announced that they would be renaming the Fox branded channels in Latin America to Star on 22 February 2021 to avoid confusion with Fox Corporation.[2]
MegaWeekend is a weekend block in which the most popular series of Star Channel Latin America are aired such as The Simpsons, followed by a film.
¡No Molestar!edit
¡No Molestar!/Não Pertube !! (Do Not Disturb!) is a prime time block that started airing in 2005. It airs reruns of Futurama and The Simpsons. The block replaced "Domingo Animado" (Animated Sunday). Commonly, three to four episodes of The Simpsons and one episode of Futurama are aired. The block is mainly focused on teenagers and adults. The block is slightly based on the formula of Animation Domination, although some shows like Bob's Burgers and Family Guy air in FX Latin America's ¡No Molestar! block.
In 2006, to celebrate its 1st anniversary, it launched an internet competition, to vote on the most crazy video created by the viewers. In the same year its name was changed temporarily to ¡No Molestar! Mundial to celebrate the 2006 FIFA World Cup.
In 2007, the block was included in their sister network, FX, but was eventually removed from in 2011.
In September 2021, the length of the block was reduced from two hours to one.[3]
Star Premium (Formerly Fox Premium): Closed on February 1, 2022.
