Fox Funny
Fox Funny (formerly 111 funny, pronounced as "triple one") was an Australian pay television channel focused on airing popular American sitcoms from the mid-2000s to present, complementing the 1980s–2005 schedule of sister network Fox Comedy. The channel was closed on 1 March 2023.
On 24 October 2008, the channel was launched with a promo loop on Foxtel as 111 Hits, running in 16:9 widescreen in a run-up to its official 1 November 2008 launch as a companion to The Comedy Channel. Its first programme was a special edition of Countdown with guests Jenna Elfman and Jermaine Jackson. On 1 March 2009, the channel became available to Austar subscribers. The timeshift channel 111+2 launched 15 November 2009.
After a revised logo and branding campaign rolled out over the holidays of 2013, the channel's name was officially shortened on 1 January 2014 to 111 with the launch of TV Hits. After only four months, on 20 April 2014, it was rebranded to 111 Greats, before reverting simply to 111 on 1 August 2015. The channel launched on Fetch TV at the end of February 2017.
On 7 November 2019, 111 funny was rebranded as Fox Funny as part of Foxtel's rebranding and takeover of several networks. A high-definition feed of the network was launched alongside the rebranding.
On 26 January 2023, it was announced the channel would close on March 1, with content moving to sister channels Fox Comedy and Fox8, with Fox Comedy shifting from channel 119 to Funny's former channel 114 berth.
Programming primarily consisted of American sitcoms from Warner Bros., 20th Century Studios, Sony Pictures Television, and CBS Studios International.
As 111 launched, programming was slowly revealed through promotions on other Foxtel channels, with presenters discussing a show and their memories of it.
At launch, a majority of its shows were moved from Arena, FOX8, The Comedy Channel, TV1 and Fox Classics.
