The first fX channel was launched in the
United States on
June 1,
1994. Broadcasting from a large "apartment" in
Manhattan's
Flatiron District, fX ushered in a new era of interactive television, but did not exist long enough to see the eventual success of such interactivity. The network centered around original programming, broadcast live every day from the "fX Apartment", and rebroadcasts of kitschy shows from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.
