Could FOX Turkey, Home To Doodsondes And #DisComplicated On eExtra Be Closing/Rebranding Soon, Here's Why?

After Disney acquired 21st Century Studios, they had been phasing out the FOX trademark across their properties. FOX Sports was replaced by ESPN while their general entertainment channels either closed down in some regions or were rebranded to FX or Star.

FOX Turkey happens to be the only international FOX brand during its run to produce original content. Although, none of this were viewed on its international counterparts several shows such as Om Elke Draai, Dokter Ali and Wie Laaste Lag had been picked up by eMedia Investments.

According to rules under the SEC, Disney is required to retract the use of the FOX trademark by 2024. It's kind of brought questions as to what Disney's next phase of action is for consumers within the affected region Star isn't one of them seeing as there's already such a brand.

Considering that Disney was able to acquire Comcast's stake in Hulu. It had been long speculated that Star could be folded under Hulu and internationally this trademark had taken up the identity of various linear channels which could end up reverting to FX.

The only issue right now regarding FOX is the position within the market. It is well established as mentioned they've produced various shows that were acquired by eMedia Investments for their Kuiertyd offering and a name change isn't something a lot can grasp.

Unless a deal were to be put in place with the FOX Corporation which would probably see them maintaining a stake on the channel. There's no way for this channel to remain on air particularly if it's still known as FOX.
