Star Channel is an international television channel brand owned by the Disney Entertainment business segment of the Walt Disney Company. Originally launched in Latin America on February 22, 2021, it expanded worldwide as a replacement for the international Fox channels inherited from the Fox Networks Group division of 21st Century Fox that Disney acquired on March 20, 2019.[1]
As of 2023, apart from the Fox channel rebrands, other former Fox channels in the Baltic states, CIS, Greece and Poland instead transitioned to being branded as FX. Some worldwide Fox channels, especially those in Africa, UK & Ireland, Germany, Norway and Southeast Asia, were wound down and entirely discontinued in favor of the launch of Disney+ in their countries/regions.
