Talk:FX (TV channel)

FX Networks

I moved this to FX Networks rather than FX Network because, judging on everything their website says, that's their name. -Branddobbe 10:08, Feb 20, 2004 (UTC)

Man Show

The Man Show is a Comedy Central show. Don't know where that came from.Mole 20:00, 23 Jul 2004 (UTC)

News Corp.

"This marked the first time News Corp. specifically marketed a Fox-branded media property to a British audience." No, surely that was Fox Kids (renamed JETIX on January 1 2005), later followed by Fox Noise. Lee M 00:52, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Son of the Beach

Some one should put something about "Son of the Beach" and their boxing programing, which where two important shows for the network's beginigns. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ymallet (talk • contribs) 17:03, 8 July 2005 (UTC)

Logo image

I think we should use Image:FX Logo.jpg in the article. Personally, I like it, and we have to use it, otherwise it will be deleted. 24.171.29.45 04:59, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I live in the UK so I'll leave it to the US Wikipedians to decide whether to revert, but as I understand it that's not even an official FX logo. Which is why it wasn't being used. --Matthew Humphreys 19:12, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Image:FX Logo.jpg was uploaded by Randallrobinstine, who has been blocked several times for uploading false logos for various organizations. I can find no evidence at all that it is anything more than a bad drawing of the real FX logo. —Bkell 21:13, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

FX Australia now W Channel

FX Was renamed as part of the digital launch in 2004 not 2000 I believe, it would help if a source could be found Mike Beckham 06:25, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Current Programming update

I added two shows to the list that were not listed which FX still airs weekdays. Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The Practice. For some reason their website doesn't list them under the shows menu but they are still on everyday. Robertlroy 00:30, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Writing

This article is absolutely horribly written. just read the "post fox gone cable" section. It soudns like a third grader wrote it.

Centralized TV Episode Discussion

Over the past months, TV episodes have been redirected by (to name a couple) TTN, Eusebeus and others. No centralized discussion has taken place, so I'm asking everyone who has been involved in this issue to voice their opinions here in this centralized spot, be they pro or anti. Discussion is here [1]. Even if you have not, other opinions are needed because this issue is affecting all TV episodes in Wikipedia. --Maniwar (talk) 01:54, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Only 3 shows Emmy nominated, not 4

Sunny certainly has not been nominated for an Emmy (as can be confirmed by both the show's page and the Emmy pages). I love the show, but let's be serious, it never will be up for an Emmy. This page had wrong information on it for about 4 months —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.116.91.38 (talk) 04:28, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Headings

Are the history period headings better without the descriptions? I felt they were useful for clearly demonstrating why the periods were broken up as they were, but at the same time I understand the need to stay away from flowery, frou-frou, unnecessary language. Is there consensus to keep it pared down as the anon did? Carl.bunderson (talk) 06:23, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

FX standards for offensive language

On The Daily Show recently, Louis C.K. said that in his new FX sitcom Louie he was not allowed to say "cunt" or "fuck". Is that a new policy at FX? Because I'm pretty sure that Nip/Tuck used those words regularly. —Mathew5000 (talk) 07:19, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Dish Network

So is this network on, Dish Network? 74.183.60.33 (talk) 14:17, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

Not anymore, for the time being, along with National Geographic Channel, and FSN, and by Nov. 1, Fox, and MyNetworkTV O&O's. Look on those articles!!!The Man Who Needs No Introduction! (talk) 01:21, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

E!?

Why is E! listed under Owned By in the sidebox? Nothing in the article says anything about the channel ever being owned by anyone other than Fox/News Corp.76.226.127.75 (talk) 23:44, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

480i version of channel

Recently I switched to FX in SD and was surprised to see Buffy the Vampire Slayer in it's normal resolution (guess FX stopped airing the botched HD remasters), while also filling in the whole screen. It wasn't letterboxed, so I'm starting to think the SD feed of FX is almost always letterboxed, but it isn't just the HD feed downgraded. I also saw that FXX aired "In Living Color" in SD also filling up the whole screen. Can someone try to confirm this for me? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.12.121.110 (talk) 07:05, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Split FX Networks

I propose splitting FX Networks to its own page because there’s enough content now. This page should be for just the US FX tv channel as the lead sentence describes it. Everything else in the FX Networks and International sections can go to the “FX Networks” page. Starforce¹³ 16:31, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

• @Starforce: can you add the {{split-section}} template to the FX Networks section? -- 65.94.170.98 (talk) 03:18, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
• I Support that idea, this should be a TV channel article, the company should be a separate article. The international channels are already a separate article, FX (international), so the company should be split off as well. -- 65.94.170.98 (talk) 03:18, 28 September 2020 (UTC)
• Very much Support this change; I was just thinking about this recently, as there's a similar split between, say, HBO and Home Box Office, Inc., amongst other examples. P.S. I'm likely adding the split-section thing since @Starforce: hasn't done so yet. –Piranha249 21:47, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

I support this, when is this happening? Kantonicity (talk) 19:56, 4 February 2021 (UTC)

when is this happening? I can't wait much longer, even I can't wait much longer for FXP. 45th Century Pro & Contra (talk) 12:27, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

 Done - This move has been completed as of January 4, 2022.-- Astros4477 (Talk) 17:12, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

Split FXP from this page.

FXP is now producing stuff on their own and not depending much on sister studios like earlier. I think it's time for creating Separate page for FX Productions. Saichaitanya4496 (talk) 15:03, 3 May 2020 (UTC)

• @Saichaitanya4496: can you add the {{split-section}} template t the FXP section? -- 65.94.170.98 (talk) 03:18, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Sports programming paragraph

Should the sports programming paragraph be made into either a separate article or something since all FX sports programming is now under the ESPN on FX branding so is there a way we can incorporate that in a bit more? Hoopstercat (talk) 01:52, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
