Pretty much as title.

Fox is the first to air channel in the UK for a number of shows such as The Walking Dead, NCIS, American Dad (although weirdly not Family Guy) and a bunch of other stuff will cease to air from the end of June.

TWD has been confirmed as moving to Star, presumably American Dad will also, less clear over some other titles, presumably if the production companies aren't owned by Disney or one of their subsidiaries.

American Dad is already on Star here, so seems likely.

I want star in Murica


These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.

The McFarlane stuff seems a bit of a mess in the UK. Used to be the BBC had dibs on both series. Then they killed the "yoof" channel that they aired on, AD reverted to/was picked up by Fox and they've been airing premiers ever since (along with The Orville.) FG, though, was picked up by ITV (like a commercial version of the BBC, second oldest broadcast network) and is aired on their "yoof" channel. The Cleveland Show, prior to axe, was aired on a third network.

We have all the old AD and FG on Star, but the new stuff is being shown all over the shop.

One assumes once existing contracts expire they'll all be absorbed back into the hive like other shows have.

This is actually good news for most UK TV viewers tbh.

The only way I could watch TWD was to illegally stream it.

It's only been available on Amazon Prime but, despite paying £90 a year for prime, wasn't free. Or through Sky which I don't bother with as it's way too expensive.

I think the most recent season was something like £18 to watch so I hadn't bothered.

I actually really like Disney+ since they added Star and this is a welcome addition.

Today is the day.

Was about to stick on The Walking Dead (again)…..only to spot The Golden Girls.

I think some acid tongued but sweet natured sitcom is just what the doctor ordered.

I can finally catch up on Season 10 without having to fight off pop ups and everything else that comes with illegal streaming.

However, looks like Fear the Walking Dead will remain on Amazon, which sucks. :(

Yes good news for me as well, I was thinking of dropping my Disney+ sub as I have watched The Mandalorian but if we get some of the Fox shows I have missed I might keep it a while yet.
