History

Star Life (formerly known as Fox History & Entertainment and Fox Life) was initially owned by Fox Networks Group, which also operated and distributed many other channels in India including FX, Fox Crime and BabyTV.

The channel was launched as a rebrand to The History Channel, which was renamed on 22 November 2008 as Fox History & Entertainment.

Fox History & Entertainment experimented with a dedicated Traveller Band (weeknights from 9 to 10 pm) in January 2011.[1] The first local Indian production of 2011 was a show that explored the psyche of Indian men across the country through the eyes of two sassy, urban women – Sugandha Garg and Indrani Dasgupta called What’s With Indian Men.[2]

The channel was renamed once again as FOX History & Traveller on 17 May 2011[1] and further as Fox Traveller on 30 October 2011.[3]

On 15 June 2014, Fox Traveller was replaced by the Indian feed of Fox Life, which ran in other countries.[4] On 14 March 2024, Disney announced that Fox Life would be rebranded as Star Life on 13 April 2024,[5] thus phasing out the Fox brand in Asia.
