  After less than a year of operation, FX Networks’ streaming service, FX+, is being shuttered by its new owner — Disney. Disney gained ownership of FX, and thus FX+, in March as one tiny slice of its massive $71.3 billion acquisition of 21st Century Fox. FX+ launched in September 2018, accessible as a $6 per month add-on only to Xfinity, Armstrong, and Cox subscribers. The service offered up every episode of FX and FXX (a sister channel focusing on comedy) programming ad-free. The service never publicly released the number of subscriptions it garnered, Variety reports.
