On 12 June 2012 it was reported that a two-hour timeshift channel (FX + 2) would launch on 3 July 2012,^[3] but this was retracted for it to be later reported that it would launch on 6 September 2012.^{[note 1]}

On 28 February 2018, FX ceased broadcasting on Foxtel, with all of its programming moved to Fox Showcase.

On 9 October 2011 Fox International Channels released details that FX would relaunch in Australia early 2012 with "long-awaited" programs such as The Walking Dead, Transporter: The Series, and Hell on Wheels.^[1] The channel launched on 26 February on Foxtel and Austar.^[2]
