Talk:FX (Australian TV channel)

Ok I have to take issue with the following statement in this article:
"FX is in no way related to the channel fX that was in Australia previously. The original fX was owned by Foxtel, while the current FX is a channel owned and run by Fox International Channels (which operate National Geographic Channel, Nat Geo Wild, and Nat Geo Adventure in Australia)."

First off all of the broadcast channels and companies mention here fall under the auspice of the broadcast division of 21st Century FOX (Formerly News Corporation) so to say that they are not related is a complete and total falsehood. The fact is that they are in fact are and always have been siblings which are directly related through a single parent company (i.e. 21st Century Fox). If there is no objection I'd like to remove this statement from the article. TheGoofyGolfer (talk) 04:23, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There are two problems with your argument. Firstly, Foxtel is only half owned by News Corp so for fX and FX to be related they would be like step sister channels. Secondly, Foxtel falls under New News Corp, not 21st Century Fox like the remainder of News Corp's television empire - so technically there is no current link between the two companies. My points could be completely wrong but figure I'd put my 2 cents worth in. Forbesy 777 (talk) 05:01, 16 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you Forbesy 777 I see your point and apparently you are correct about the New Newscorp owning a 50 percent stake in FOXtel and not 21st Century Fox. I appreciate your input and withdraw wanting to remove this statement from the article. TheGoofyGolfer (talk) 04:41, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
My pleasure TheGoofyGolfer. It pays off to have editors in the countries where articles are set. Forbesy 777 (talk) 07:48, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
