Previous owners

In the following years, several Fox networks worldwide were renamed, with most adopting the formerly Asian-centric brand Star based upon the Star hub available on Disney+ (or transitioned to being branded as Star Channel), while networks in the Baltic states, CIS, Greece and Poland instead transitioned to being branded as FX, and certain other networks were discontinued outright due to dwindling ratings and to refocus its resources for Disney+.[1]
