FIC Brings Fox Family Movies to Asia

HONG KONG: Fox International Channels (FIC) has added Fox Family Movies to its bouquet, launching on September 16 in Singapore.

The channel offers family members of all ages a range of new and classic movies from studios including Fox, Disney, Pixar, Marvel, DreamWorks, Touchstone, MGM and Paramount. The channel is fully subtitled in local languages for Asian viewers. Fox Family Movies is to continue its rollout in Indonesia, Taiwan and other Asian markets later this year. Fox Family Movies will be available first in Singapore on September 16 as part of StarHub’s STAR Movies Pack.

Zubin Gandevia, the COO for Asia Pacific and the Middle East at Fox International Channels, said: “We aim to make Fox Family Movies Asia’s leading brand for wholesome family films. While the market is getting fragmented with channels catering to specific audiences, we believe that families as a whole is underserved. Hence, Fox Family Movies welcomes families to come together at home to share good times and create happy memories with top-quality movie products. With aggressive plans for Fox Family Movies including launching its high-definition service later this year and making it Asia’s first 100-percent dubbed movie channel, we are confident that it will be a key business driver for our viewers, advertisers and affiliates alike across Asia.”
