FXX (Canadian TV channel)

It was reported that Rogers had plans to launch a Canadian version of FXX, a younger-skewing spinoff of FX.[4] Originally scheduled for January 2014, FXX's launch was later rescheduled to April 1, 2014. As part of the launch, several shows which previously aired on FX Canada moved to FXX. In addition, a Canadian version of the FXNOW app, which allows viewers to watch shows from FX and FXX, was launched.[5] On the day of the launch, FX Canada's website was completely revamped to include program information from both FX-branded channels.

It was revealed through CRTC regulatory documents that the broadcast licence used to launch FXX was the licence originally granted for a proposed channel called Ampersand. That licence requires the channel's programming to be related to "romance, love and relationships".[6][7]

As with the Canadian version of FX, any new series produced for FXX in the U.S will air on this channel. In addition, FXX has also aired several original shows that premiered on FX in the U.S (namely Fargo, Married and You're the Worst). Other programming from the U.S version of FXX, such as Archer and shows from the former Animation Domination High-Def block, however, are notably absent. In the case of animated series, several of these shows have been acquired by Corus Entertainment for Adult Swim and the former Teletoon at Night block.
