Foxtel

I wonder if this move will see some of these channels pop up on Fetch, with Telstra being their major shareholder.

Wonder if they’ll somehow retain the US styled branding elements, would be unfortunate if they disappear as well. Fox Classics’ logo changing is unfortunate to see as well.

Also…

:sob:

aba

I wouldn’t imagine FOX8 being safe from these changes as well, though “Foxtel8” doesn’t roll off the tongue that much. :woozy_face: ‘Eight’ is perhaps a little too minimalistic.

Fox Sports and Fox Footy/League/Netball, etc would be a doozy to change if it has to as well… :thinking:

FOX8 is staying as FOX8, just with a new logo.

Yep! Just found a picture of it and some others in a Facebook group, appears to be in the same style font as the Foxtel logo:

I see they still list the BBC UKTV channel column as 'Also in HD" when the channel isn’t available in HD.

You might be onto something there. Might be a step towards Telstra getting out of the Foxtel deal, which they have tried to do for a few years now.

They are on Fetch so I would assume this will change soon.

Foxtel has always been nasty but never cheap

Don’t like the new FOX8 logo , some things never should be changed! FOX8 really died this decade.

I’m itching to add this tagline from an old British PIF:

Just go back to the classic C Comedy Channel logo, and FOX8 logo is abandoning the FOX style guide!

Which channels are on Fetch?

Really reminds me of those channels Smart TVs come with now.

At least they’re restoring Showcase and Arena back to their proper names.

Weird that they’re completely ditching not just the Fox brand name on some channels, but also the stylised Fox logo on FOX8. Presumably this also means changes on Fox Sports after the footy finals too?

Unlikely. That brand is too big.
