SoHo is an Australian cable and satellite channel available on Foxtel, Austar and Optus Television's subscription platforms. Originally a retro channel, it moved into Women's interest programming around the late 1990s. Later on it dropped promoting itself as a women's channel, instead focusing on its drama programming. After several on-air creative rebrands, and a repositioning to being a full drama channel, dropping much of its talk programming in recent years, W relaunched as SoHo, a brand that launched in New Zealand on August, 2012 as a monthly payment channel. SoHo now specializes in Drama, Thriller and Horror television programming.〔 〕 ==History== The channel began life as FX in 1995 and became available on Austar in April 1999. It was relaunched as W. in 2003, shortly before digital broadcasting began. W screened original Australian programming such as ''Beauty and the Beast'', ''Love My Way'', ''From Here to Maternity'' and ''Studio A with Simon Burke''. It also had Pay-TV rights to many popular US primetime drama series such as ''Pushing Dasies'' and ''The Wire'' and repeats of many other series. Antonia Kidman, sister of actress Nicole Kidman, was the face of the W channel, for quite some time and has presented a few parenting and entertainment programs for this and other channels. W2, the timeshift channel broadcasting programs two hours later, was launched in September 2006. A website for the channel was also launched in September 2006. W. underwent a transformation in April 2009, which included an updated logo (now simply W) and several new additions to the primetime line-up.
