The National reports that Rupert Murdoch’s Fox International Channels plans to launch additional entertainment channels next year. Now broadcasting 12 channels in the MENA region, including Fox Movies, Fox Series and Star World, Fox plans to convert all of its regional broadcasts to high definition by 2012. The company intends to pursue its strategy of broadcasting across both pay-TV and advertising-driven free-to-air platforms.

The National’s Mixed Media has reported that Imagenation Abu Dhabi, a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Media City, has partnered with Fox Star Studios, a joint venture between Star TV and News Corp, for the distribution of the movie titled “My Name is Khan”. ADMC’s partnership with News Corp marks a second deal in less than a year.
