# Star Comedy

Star Comedy (formerly FX and Fox Comedy) is a Portuguese pay television channel that broadcasts comedy series and films, owned by The Walt Disney Company Portugal. Programs are mostly imported, mainly from the United States, occasionally also Canada and the United Kingdom. The channel has become the home for primarily Fox's animated adult shows such as The Simpsons and Family Guy. The name of the channel is derived from one of the multiplex Star Premium channels in Latin America which originally was used in 2021.

## History
### As FX

The channel started broadcasting on September 26, 2007 alongside Fox Crime on TV Cabo's Funtastic Life package. The channel promised the start of "a new era in the Portuguese landscape" with a strong irreverent character reflected in the channel's slogan: Pós-Zapping. Unlike its sister channels, FX distanced from offering mainstream content, with the main offers being hit cult shows. The channel launched with the premiere of Dexter and also announced Deadwood (already broadcast on RTP2 before) in the channel's second week.

### As Fox Comedy

On November 18, 2015, the channel finished its conversion to a comedy channel, Fox Comedy.

### As Star Comedy

On November 27, 2023, Disney has announced that Fox Comedy would rebrand to Star Comedy on February 7, 2024.
