Discussion General Discussions, News & Updates On Indian TV Channels

[JollyLNB]

Fun Fact - Fox/Star had partnered with History TV (partly owned by Disney) in last decade to launch Fox History which qas dissolved later on. Now Disney has acquired Star/Fox. At that time History TV had core focus on shows depicting incidents happned in past or biographical stuff (even international versions of channel) but later shifted to more contemporary stuff

It entered India as JV itself. Later On name changes happened to revamp as per need, once to incorporate Fox identity and later post exit of History TV to build own local brand. Fox History and Traveller or Entertainment or Fox Traveller but nothing worked ultimately leading to Fox Life which again is not performing. They should instead launch a Travel Channel

Logopedia has a summary: Fox Life (India)

Fox Life is an Indian food and lifestyle channel, owned by Star. It was launched on 30 November 2003 as The History Channel, then rebranded to Fox History & Entertainment in 2008. Its focus moved from informational programming to lifestyle and food as it rebranded two times in 2011—first to Fox History & Traveller and again to Fox Traveller—before the name Fox Life was adopted in 2014.

Fox Life is the only Fox-branded channel in the country after Fox Crime, Fox Action Movies and FX all shut down. Its main competitors are TLC, NDTV Good Times, FYI TV18, Travelxp and Living Foodz.

The History Channel was launched by Star on 30 November 2003, as a partnership with National Geographic.

The History Channel was renamed to Fox History & Entertainment on 22 November 2008, therefore temporarily ending the History brand in India before it returned in October 2011 as History TV18.

Fox History & Entertainment was renamed to Fox History & Traveller on 17 May 2011 as it began showing more travel and lifestyle-related shows. The logo was largely the same as its predecessor.

The logo was changed yet again on 15 July 2011 to highlight the channel’s near-total transition to food, travel and lifestyle shows. The word ‘History’ was greatly diminished, as was that genre’s importance.

Barely a few months after its renaming to Fox History & Traveller, the channel was renamed again to Fox Traveller on 30 October 2011 to make it clear that it would henceforth be exclusively a lifestyle channel. This came a few weeks after History returned to India as History TV18.

Star has got amazing opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Move sitcoms to Disney International HD. Also bring back old sitcoms from ABC, ABC Family and Freeform. At the same time rebrand Star World with more adult centric content. They can give good competition to Comedy Central and Colors Infinity.
