Ireland's new Channel 6 has signed a content deal with Fox International Television Distribution.

The station has previously signed deals with CBS and NBC. Shows included in the Fox package range include popular programmes airing on the Fox broadcast network in the US such as Prison Break, Family Guy, and American Dad. Also in the deal are older Fox-distributed shows such as Dharma & Greg.

Channel 6 will launch on NTL and Chorus on March 30.
