The six channels are Fox Crime, Baby TV, FX (Fox extended), National Geographic Adventure, National Geographic Wild and National Geographic Music, sources say.
The channels from the Star stable will be distributed by Star Den, a 50:50 joint venture between Star India and Digital Entertainment Network.
