Fox Targets Football Season For Launch Of New Streaming Service

Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch revealed plans for the fall launch of a new streaming platform shooting for a subscriber count in the “mid-single digit millions.” The service will include all of Fox’s content, such as Fox Sports and Fox News, with a focus on attracting cord-cutters rather than cannibalizing traditional TV viewership. Further details like pricing and the platform’s name are yet to be revealed. Additionally, Murdoch mentioned the success of Fox Nation, catering to Fox News enthusiasts with 2 to 2.5 million subscribers, and hinted at future simulcasts of NFL games on Tubi after a successful Super Bowl broadcast that garnered record ratings and high viewer engagement.
