July 2, 2013 : FX Expanding… With More Channels?
If you’ve seen any of the recent promos for It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, you might have seen mentions of ‘FXX’. Apparently, FX is expanding it’s programming in September with a new channel, FXX, along with expanding their movie channel nexwork, FXM.
Both channels are intended to target a younger demo – with FXX targeting the same 18-34 demo that Adult Swim goes after. With the bulk of the original programming heading over to FXX, I am not quite sure what FX will be airing – Â probably more syndicated episodes of Two And A Half Men and How I Met Your Mother (I just vomited a little in my mouth).
However, I am more concerned about whether or not cable/ satellite will make this channel available right away. I personally do not get FXM, which is fine with me, but there are a few shows I watch that presumably will be on FXX – The League has already been mentioned, and I am betting Wilfred and Archer will as well.
Hopefully the new network will result in an increase in original programming… preferably solid ones (and maybe a few that are animated), but I’ll believe it when I see it.

According to Wikipedia, it’s already slated for channel 619 on DirecTV on both SD and HD channels (they don’t mention Comcast). It’s replacing the Fox Soccer Channel, which I didn’t know existed. I guess they got sick of airing tie games.
