Live Broadcasting

  • The FX Apartment
FX Networks secured the lease for the initial three levels at 212 Fifth Avenue, overlooking Madison Square Park in New York City. The ground floor accommodated sales offices and the control room, while production offices were situated on the third floor. The second floor featured a fully operational apartment used for broadcasting, which included a spacious common area combining living, dining, and kitchen spaces, a compact library, a game room equipped with arcade machines, a restroom, and a versatile "ballroom" that opened onto a balcony on the third floor. During summer months, FX programs frequently incorporated scenes from Madison Square Park. The lease concluded on December 31, 1998; subsequently, furnishings were auctioned off and the building underwent renovation.
  • Breakfast Time (1994–96)
This flagship morning program combined lifestyle content with segments featuring "roving reporters" exploring distinctive locations across the country. Hosted by Tom Bergeron, Laurie Hibberd, and Bob the Puppet, it utilized all rooms within the apartment. The show aired from 7 to 9 a.m. Eastern Time.
  • Personal fX: The Collectibles Show (1994–98)
Resembling Antiques Roadshow, this program featured collectors bringing unique items for appraisal in-studio, complemented by roving reporters visiting collectors nationwide. Broadcast took place from the "Dining Room," with Claire Carter and John Burke as hosts. This was FX’s final live broadcast before cancellation. It aired from noon to 1 p.m. Eastern Time.
  • The Pet Department (1994–98)
A call-in and interview format show focused on domesticated animals, usually filmed in the "Game Room." Hosted by Steve Walker, Luann Lee, dog trainer Andrea Arden, and FX’s dog Jack; Suzanne Whang later replaced Lee. The program aired between 2:30 and 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
  • Under Scrutiny with Jane Wallace (1994–95)
A nightly news program delivering detailed reports from the "Library," which earned a CableACE Award for news coverage in 1995. This was FX’s first live show to be canceled. Hosted by Jane Wallace, it aired from 7 to 7:30 p.m. Eastern Time.
  • Sound fX (1994–95)
A music-centric series spotlighting prominent artists and garage bands, regularly featuring music videos from the "Ballroom." Hosting duties were handled by Karyn Bryant, Orlando Jones, and Matt Ostrum; Jeff Probst later replaced Jones. This program aired from 11 p.m. to midnight Eastern Time.
fX’s viewer mail program concluded each broadcast day by reading and responding to audience feedback from the "Kitchen." Hosted by Jeff Probst and Jane Fergus, it originally aired from 12:30 to 1:00 a.m. Eastern Time before transitioning to pre-recorded episodes in the 7:30 to 8:00 p.m. slot.

Prominent personalities who began their careers at fX and progressed to major roles include:

  • Tom Bergeron – Host of America's Funniest Home Videos, Dancing with the Stars, Hollywood Squares
  • Laurie Hibberd – CBS's The Early Show reporter and spouse of Live with Regis and Kelly producer Michael Gelman
  • Orlando Jones – Actor known for Evolution, Office Space, MADtv, and notable spokesperson for 7 Up
  • Jeff Probst – Host of Survivor and The Jeff Probst Show
  • Phil Keoghan – Host of The Amazing Race
  • John Burke – Host of E! News Live

Between programs and during commercial breaks, a "channel host" offered previews or shared trivia about forthcoming segments, functioning similarly to British-style in-vision continuity announcers.

Sports

Former

fX's initial foray into sports broadcasting began in September 1995 with The fX Sports Show, a 60-minute program delivering highlights and analysis, hosted by Jim Rome and Kevin Frazier, featuring contributors from Fox NFL Sunday. Unlike most fX productions, this show was produced at Fox Sports' Hollywood studios rather than the New York-based fX Apartment. It aired on Sundays at 11 p.m. but lasted only one season.

After Fox collaborated with Liberty Media to establish Fox Sports Net, Liberty obtained an ownership stake in fX (through Fox/Liberty Networks), positioning fX as the national cable platform for Fox Sports content. This included Major League Baseball broadcasts—initially on Monday nights, then shifting to Saturdays starting in 1998—as well as college football coverage. For a period, Fox Sports News primetime updates were also featured on fX.

Between 2001 and 2006, fX aired select NASCAR races from the NEXTEL Cup Series and NASCAR Busch Series as part of Fox's NASCAR broadcast rights. The network’s coverage concluded following the Busch Series race held at Daytona International Speedway on June 30, 2006. The subsequent 2007 NASCAR contract did not include fX, as Fox retained broadcast rights and incorporated weather-delayed race telecasts into its primary network schedule.

From 2001 through 2005, fX also televised one Major League Baseball postseason game annually during concurrent League Championship Series matchups. One game was broadcast regionally on local Fox stations, while the other was shown nationally via fX or satellite channels. The final planned LCS game on fX was scheduled for October 11, 2006; however, a rain delay resulted in both LCS games airing on Fox instead, with fX opting to air the movie Any Given Sunday. Consequently, the June 2006 Busch Series race marks the last sports event aired on fX. Future League Championship Series games have been divided between Fox and TBS.

Additional sports events previously featured on fX included the NFL developmental league-NFL Europa, college football and basketball contests, and the 1996 World Cup of Hockey.

With the debut of the national sports channel Fox Sports 1 in August 2013, fX discontinued its role as a cable outlet for Fox Sports programming.

Current

In 2022, The Walt Disney Company acquired exclusive rights to broadcast the XFL, beginning with games from the 2023 season onward on FX, alongside coverage on ESPN and ABC.
