FX Networks (short for '''F'''ox E'''x'''tended, when it was a cable branch of the Creator/{{Fox}} network) is a family of cable channels owned by Walt Disney Television, a division of Creator/{{Disney}}. Although it no longer has any connections with Fox [[InNameOnly besides name]], it shares that network's aptitude for experimentation and is regarded as a network close to the standards of premium cable channels like {{Creator/HBO}} and {{Showtime}}, consistently producing critically-acclaimed series with major crossover appeal.
FX took pride in its early adoption of the internet to interact with viewers (broadcasting hours of live programming from an apartment/studio in New York- including [[Series/TheHollywoodSquares Tom]] [[Series/AmericasFunniestHomeVideos Bergeron]] as the co-host of ''Breakfast Time'', a TransAtlanticEquivalent to ''Series/TheBigBreakfast''), but otherwise spent the 1990s running old movies and television shows (primarily Fox-owned, natch). Its first foray into original scripted programming was ''Series/TheShield'' in 2002, which turned out to be a critical and commercial hit, winning a number of Emmys, Golden Globes, and other awards.
FX is notable for being led by executives who [[JustForFun/OneOfUs are actual television lovers]], who give notes that can actually make the show better. It is also famous for mostly producing comedies and dramas that revolve around [[AntiHero anti-heroes]]. This became such a prominent theme that then-network president Kevin Reilly once turned down a new show because it featured ''yet another'' anti-hero,[[note]]That show? ''Series/BreakingBad.''[[/note]] although they appear to have given up that fight.
On March 20th, 2019. Creator/{{Disney}} would acquire FX Networks as part of a broader deal to purchase the majority of 21st Century Fox's media assets (excluding the Fox network, Fox Sports and a few others) thus making the networks a sister branch to Creator/{{ABC}}. [[BrokenBase Reactions to this have been divided]]. Some fear that Disney might slowly let FX [[NetworkDecay rot itself to irrelevance]] as they focus their attention to their streaming platforms, Creator/DisneyPlus and Creator/{{Hulu}}, the latter of which Disney now has the majority stake and operational control of.[[note]]The last remaining stakeholder, Comcast, as part of its deal with Disney for control will [[https://www.latimes.com/business/hollywood/la-fi-ct-disney-hulu-comcast-20190514-story.html sell]] its stake by 2024.[[/note]] Others, including network head John Landgraf, believe the Disney purchase will give FX more resources and allow its programming to better compete with Creator/{{Netflix}} on a level playing field via Hulu. Indeed, Disney CEO Bob Iger announced in November 2019 that Hulu would be the new home for FX programming, streaming programming from the network immediately after broadcast.
FX's siblings are the younger-skewing, comedy-oriented FXX, and the all-movie channel, FXM. The Disney acquisition has also re-united the FX Networks with the former [[Creator/{{Freeform}} Fox Family Channel]], of which they share growing syndication rights to 20th Century Fox Television's [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons primetime]] [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy animated]] [[WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers comedies]].
