Star Comedy
Introduction '''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 was used in 2021.
