The origins of Foxtel
In 1995, Foxtel was started as a joint venture between News Corporation (in particular 20th Century Fox Media) and Telstra. Telstra transmits a TV signal through its hybrid fibre-coaxial network and News Corporation is the basis for offering channel negotiations and connections.
Foxtel was formed ("Fox" representing News Corporation's Fox and "Tel" representing Telstra). On 23 October 1995, Foxtel commenced a 20-channel service, delivered over the Telstra HFC network, which has now grown to more than 800 channels. Foxtel currently commands a huge user-base, with peak viewership of up to a million viewers at a time during prime sports events.
