Histori
On December 18, 2015, a test pattern began broadcasting on channel 76 that reads "New Channel Coming Soon". Seven acknowledged the broadcast and program director Angus Ross officially announced on February 1, 2016 that Seven launched a new channel and more details will soon be released. During ad-break of the miniseries on Molly on February 7, 2016, Seven announced that channel 76 would be named 7flix and would launch on February 28, 2016. The "New Channel" test pattern was then replaced with a continuous promo loop for 7flix.
7flix starts broadcasting at 6 am on February 28, 2016 in MPEG-4, as seen in a YouTube video showing the end of the promo circle and the repetition of Once Upon A Time begins thereafter. This channel shows the movie in the main time slot with other television and entertainment series at other times. 7flix was added to the live streaming service of Seven7 Live at the time of its release.
On April 13, 2016, it was announced the channel would change its schedule, shifting its focus from the film to more American dramas. This change began in the previous weeks when Gray's Anatomy aired at 8:30 pm, which was originally designated as an "exclusive" movie time slot. The change also saw the addition of the Criminal Mind repeat to Thursday night.
As of June 3, 2016, 7flix became available on more TVs because the channel switched to MPEG-2.
On August 3, 2017, 18 months after launch in the metropolitan area, Prime7 announced it would bring 7flix to its regional station in northern and southern New South Wales, the Victoria and Mildura region. The channel was launched at 6 am on September 3rd on digital channel 66, in MPEG-4 format.
