Fox is a Middle Eastern pay television channel that was launched in 2006 as SKY TV. It was rebranded as Fox Series in 2008,[1] and then rebranded as Fox on 1 March 2011. Fox is jointly owned by The Walt Disney Company Middle East.

Background

The channel began broadcasting as a Middle Eastern version of SKY TV in 2006. In 2008 the channel was renamed as Fox Series, and in 2011 on-screen as simply Fox. The channel continues to broadcast from cable and satellite.

On 4 November 2015, the channel started to broadcast exclusively in HD and became encrypted due to its move to satellite television provider beIN.[2]

On 1 March 2024, Fox will be rebranded as Star Series, which adopted the name of one of multiplex Star Premium channels in Latin America that was used in 2021.[3]
