Fox (formerly Fox Crime) is a Russian-language pay television channel launched on 30 October 2007 in the Baltics[1] and on 5 March 2008 in Russia.[2] On 1 October 2012, the channel was renamed to Fox.[3] In 2022, Disney announced the channel would cease broadcasting in Russia[4] and Belarus,[5] with Disney Channel being replaced by Solntse.[6] However, it continues to broadcast in the Baltics and CIS without advertising. It was announced that Fox would rebrand to FX on 24 January 2024.[7][8]
Some episodes of 9-1-1: Lone Star that featured same-sex couple were cut due to an anti-LGBT propaganda law.[9]
