Fox (formerly SuomiTV) is a Finnish entertainment TV channel owned and produced by Fox Networks Group (FNG) Nordic. The channel was acquired by FNG Nordic in January 2012, and then relaunched as the current incarnation on April 16 that year.[2][3]

Fox is freely available in Finland both over-the-air and through cable, as it bases its funding on television advertisements. It is FIC Nordic's first channel that does not operate on subscriber fees.[4]

Programming

The channel features local content – such as news and horse racing – in Finnish as well as fiction and factual entertainment, movies and lifestyle programs mainly in English (with Finnish subtitles).

Fox Kids

This is the only outlet to revive the Fox Kids name, which was phased out most of the world. Initially, it utilised the Fox Kids' global logo and on-screen branding from early 2000s, but it was later replaced by another logo and look.

The block offers foreign television programs aimed at a young audience dubbed into the Finnish language.
