Amid ongoing cord-cutting as well as a coronavirus pandemic that's changing viewer consumption patterns, Fox Corp. is taking a temporary step away from the cable bundle and making its television properties freely available to stream.
Fox News will now become available to stream without paying for cable, the company said on Wednesday. The move was described as a partnership with Fox's pay TV providers.The move from Fox arrives one day after the slimmed down conglomerate acquired the free, ad-supported streaming service Tubi for $440 million. The streamer offers 20,000 film and TV titles, including from studios like Paramount, Lionsgate and MGM.
"Our highest duty as a company is to provide the individuals and communities we serve with information and analysis to help educate and protect them during dangerous times," stated Fox Corp. CEO Lachlan Murdoch. "That is why we are today making Fox News and Fox Television stations available to everyone in the country."
Fox News CEO Suzanne Scott and Fox TV stations chief Jack Abernethy added in a joint statement: "We also want to acknowledge and thank our distribution partners, who played an important role in helping make these valuable news sources available more broadly."
