FX to take Adult Swim block

UK pay-TV broadcaster FX has inked a deal with Turner Broadcasting that will see Turner-owned comedy brand Adult Swim launched as a block on its channel.

Adult Swim will air series including Robot Chicken, Metalocalypse and Venture Bros on FX on Saturday nights at 22:00 to sit alongside animated series Family Guy and American Dad. Adult Swim previously aired as a nightly block on Virgin Media Television’s Bravo channel but this ended in 2008 and the Adult Swim brand has only existed in the UK digitally.
