Star Premium

Star Premium (formerly known as Fox+ and Fox Premium) was a multiplex suite of seven premium Latin American subscription television channels owned by The Walt Disney Company Latin America, featuring film and series content. The networks were programmed and distributed from Atlanta, though no carriage of the networks is available in the United States domestically.

It was launched on November 3, 2014, as a direct successor replacing Moviecity, founded on June 1, 1997, by LAPTV. 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, as Disney de-emphasized use of the Fox brand.

With the changes made by Disney which include the closure of 100 pay channels worldwide, including in Latin America, in addition to the launch of Star+ in the region that took place on August 31, 2021, the channels will be discontinued on January 31, 2022, a month after the discontinuation of the Brazilian Fox Sports networks.

Why have they closed?

 * Lack of original series: HBO is doing very well because they have original series and, on the other hand, Star Premium does not have original series that keep it alive. All due to Disney's carelessness.
 * Little accessibility: A pack of premium channels like Star Premium in a provider is more expensive than basic channels. So it is very inaccessible for some people.
 * Focus on Star+: On August 31, 2021, Star+ arrived, a separate Disney streaming platform from Disney+ with more adult-oriented content. Its subscribers are very few to those of Disney+ since it was launched only in Latin America and despite this, Star Premium was shut down due to its strategy of having more subscribers in Star+.

Probability of returning
The damage caused by Disney to its pay television channels has caused worldwide concern about what it could do to people without Internet access or enough money.

It is speculated that they could relaunch all the closed channels in the future, when they admit their mistakes or Bob Chapek leaves the company and the new CEO takes care of it.

Star Premium undoubtedly lasted 25 years with Latin Americans with its 5 name changes throughout its early history and hopefully it will return in the future.

On February 22, 2022 (21 days after the closure), our bureaucrat PCarolaSX starts the #BringBackStarPremium campaign on Twitter in order for Disney to bring back Star Premium channels.
