Star Comedy (Portugal)

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.{{cite web |date=26 September 2007 |title=Fox Crime e FX a partir de hoje |url=https://www.publico.pt/2007/09/26/jornal/fox-crime-e-fx--a-partir-de-hoje-231187 |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20231130090433/https://www.publico.pt/2007/09/26/jornal/fox-crime-e-fx--a-partir-de-hoje-231187 |archive-date=30 November 2023 |access-date=3 January 2024 |website=Público}}
