"Our relationship with Fox has built another milestone with the launch of these three new channels," said Ong Bee Lian, StarHub’s VP of home solutions. "We are delighted that our customers are able to enjoy the fruits of our union. We constantly aim to bring added value to our customers by offering them a wide variety of branded channels, and strengthening our highly acclaimed content from all over the world.

"Fox, tvN and Nat Geo Music builds further on our commitment to deliver more choices and quality entertainment to audiences in Singapore.
