Star Mundo is a pay-TV channel serving the African market, introduced on October 23, 2015, as the regional edition of MundoFox. This channel is exclusively accessible in Angola and Mozambique, broadcasting solely in Portuguese. Its content lineup combines foreign series dubbed into Portuguese with locally produced shows, predominantly financed by companies based in Portugal.
History
The channel, originally known as Mundo Fox, commenced operations on October 23, 2015, offering programming entirely in the Portuguese language. Early broadcasts featured the Portuguese soap opera Doce Tentação, the reality series Lucky Ladies, and region-specific content like A Sentada, a culinary program designed for viewers in Angola.
The official unveiling took place at the Presidente hotel located in Luanda. Upon its debut, the channel was assigned channel number 500 on the DStv platform.
During the 2017-2018 broadcast season, Mundo Fox launched a VIP edition of its stand-up comedy show Tropa d'Os Tuneza, showcasing prominent Angolan personalities.
On November 27, 2023, Disney declared that all Fox-branded channels—including Mundo Fox, Fox, Fox Crime, Fox Life, Fox Comedy, and Fox Movies—would be rebranded under the "Star" name effective February 7, 2024.
