Star Premium (formerly known as Fox+ and Fox Premium) was a multiplex suite of premium Latin American subscription television channels owned by The Walt Disney Company Latin America. The network competed with HBO Latin America and its programming consisted mostly of non-dubbed movies and series with Spanish and Portuguese subtitles.
The network ceased broadcasting on February 1, 2022, due to Bob Chapek's controversial strategy of closing 100 channels internationally.
History
The network was launched in Latin America, excluding Brazil, on June 1, 1997, by LAPTV, a joint-venture between Universal Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Fox Entertainment Group and Paramount Pictures. In 2013 LAPTV was integrated into Fox International Channels Latin America and the channel package was renamed the following year as Fox+ and later as Fox Premium. The suite was renamed Star Premium on February 22, 2021,[1]
