Can’t say I have heard of that one before. Another fast channel?
Not sure
It could be Midnight Pulp.
Back to back Pulp Fiction catalogue maybe?
Just go through that day’s schedule on the monthly guide.
It cannot be clearer as to what it’s going to air: Foxtel’s new home of horror movies.
The tagline “Beware! Watch at your own risk”. The notable lack of the genre scheduled across FM Premiere and Drama (in prior days there will be three or four such movies on their lineups).
It’s the first time in Australian television horror is given an “all day, every day” home.
(To answer my own question, yes, it’s written all-caps. Is it abbreviated for anything? We’ll find out.)
And goodbye, FM Life. Your channel position, for whatever reason, won’t be replaced. (I just think it’s because the programming change being too drastic and may - literally - impact viewers.)
The logo - which I should note is not scary in itself and may entice some viewers tuning in - could be an awesome starting point for eerie idents. Some concepts come to mind like broken glasses, disorganized pictures and moving doors.

FOX LEAGUE AND BINGE CELEBRATE ARIA AWARD WINS
FOX LEAGUE WINS FIRST ARIA AWARD FOR “OUR GREATS” VIDEO
BINGE SECURES AWARD BEST ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK FOR ‘HOW TO MAKE GRAVY’
At last night’s 2025 ARIA Music Awards, Foxtel Group secured two prestigious Awards for Best Use of an Australian Recording in an Advertisement and Best Original Soundtrack or Musical Theatre Cast Album.
Fox League, on Kayo Sports, took home the accolade for Best Use of An Australian Recording in an Advertisement for ‘Our Greats’ video by multi-award-winning Indigenous group 3% at last night’s ARIA Music Awards in Sydney.
Fox League teamed up with 3% comprising Angus Field, Corey Webster (aka “Nooky”), and Dallas Woods to create a new music video for their 2025 hit ‘Our Greats’, which celebrates First Nation sporting icons. The song lyrics feature Cathy Freeman, Ash Barty, Patty Mills and Lionel Rose.
The ‘Our Greats’ video was a cornerstone of Fox League’s 2025 Indigenous Round celebrations, dedicated to celebrating First Nation sporting icons. Filmed on the roof of Allianz Stadium, Sydney, the video brought together 3% with Indigenous children, rugby league superstars Latrell Mitchell, Josh Addo-Carr, and Mahalia Murphy, and Fox League’s Matt Nable.
Corey Webster, lead vocalist of 3%, said: “This was a true collaboration between Fox Sports, Level Two, 3%, Andrew Burford, Thom Crawford, Billy Guns, The Incredible Kids, Cathy Freeman, Patty Mills, and Thinking Loud. We’re very proud of everyone involved and grateful to be part of something so meaningful. Can’t wait to do it all again when the opportunity comes up.”
Charlie Lambert, Head of Creative Fox Sports Production Sport said: “This video represents Fox League’s commitment to showcasing Indigenous talent and stories and celebrating Australian culture through sport. It was so much fun to team up with 3% and we are incredibly proud it’s been recognised at the highest level with an ARIA Award.”
BINGE Original feature film HOW TO MAKE GRAVY also took home Best Original Soundtrack or Musical Theatre Cast Album.
Based on the iconic Paul Kelly song of the same name, HOW TO MAKE GRAVY premiered on BINGE last year, smashing records to become the biggest new film premiere of the year. The film received 15 nominations at the 2025 AACTA Awards and was also nominated for a TV WEEK Logie Award.
Lana Greenhalgh, Director of Scripted Originals, Foxtel Group, said: "With Gravy Day and the festive season fast approaching, it’s incredible to have BINGE Original HOW TO MAKE GRAVY honoured with an ARIA for Best Original Soundtrack. To have the music for a film inspired by an iconic Australian song recognised with this award is a real testament to the extraordinary talent of the creative team behind the film and the music, led by Meg Washington and Nick Waterman. Congratulations to all!”

Does anyone else have trouble with the sound on MSNOW (ch 612)? It seems to have some noise. It only seems to be on live programs.
At one stage the signal was so bad several weeks ago (when it was still MSNBC) that the signal (audio and video) dropped out completely) and there was a message apologising for the problem.
Was the message a Foxtel one or an MSNBC one?
A Foxtel one. Not generated by the iQ5 itself, but in the video.
I just wish ANC would get their feed of Fox News fixed. The 5-10 sec of frame grabbing every six minutes, which has been going on for over a year, is quite annoying.
The amount of time live channels can be rewound appears to have been increased.
It used to be 60 minutes. Now 150 minutes. On my IQ5 anyway…

So much for naming everything “Fox”, it’s almost non existent.
I suspect they are poised to ditch the Fox branding entirely.
