Fox Launching "Fox One" Streaming Platform

[GodfreyGR 812]

NBC has Peacock, CBS has Paramount+, the list goes on. Now Fox is jumping in with the launch of Fox One ahead of the NFL Season. They're housing Fox News, Fox Business, Fox Weather, Fox Sports, FS1, FS2, Deportes, FOX Local and Fox network all under one house.

 

So is Hulu just going to be primarily ABC after this summer?

I understand that Hulu will continue to carry Fox network content in addition to this.

Isn't Hulu totally available through Disney+ as well?  Hulu content appears to be available through Disney+ but not the other way around.

Not to mention a large number of subscribers probably get or pay for the Disney Bundle, which includes Hulu, Disney+ and Espn+.

 

I wonder if this will be a stand-alone option for non-cable subscribers, and can be authenticated for free with a cable/satellite subscription...

Hulu subscriptions that are bundled or on the same myDisney accounts as Disney+ subscriptions will result in most Hulu content being available on the Disney+ app/site. As you noted, the reverse doesn't apply for the Hulu app/site. This is also true for ESPN+.

Fox's websites/apps already authenticate with cable/satellite/virtual subscriptions, and this app, which is not designed to replace those subscriptions and will not be promoted on the channels, will have exactly the same content.

Trust me, as long as Fox still has The Simpsons and company, Hulu will still continue to host ALL Fox shows.  And with that renewal, it's clear they're not going away from Fox.

I'm sure many of the left will not subscribe if they have to pay for Fox News if they want everything else,

Especially since Fox network programs are staying on Hulu.

I would love it if the sports package were made available separately.

 

I'm not particularly interested in paying for cable news as it exists in any form today.

Why don't more utilize an "a-la-carte" packaging option? I mean, Disney kind of does with Hulu/D+/E+, but in my home for example, Peacock is used only for those pesky NFL games they do only streaming for (aside from the Olympics...). Cash grab?

[Megatron81 343]

I had a feeling that FOX was going to get into the streaming game with FOX One. I wonder if FOX One will air original content for the streamer?

[MD TV 390]

Launch date is August 21st. Price is $20/month:

Peacock at $16 for plenty of sports and originals is justifiable, but just the same Fox content you can get anywhere else with nothing else? For $20 a month?

It's a hard pass; you have to be one of those 'I will only watch something if Rupert is behind it' fundamentalists to really be attracted to this offer, and they're only going to get subscribers by bundling it with Hulu or HBO Max like they intend. It's just a terrible price otherwise and more than just subscribing to HBO alone when FoxLocal, LiveNOW and Fox Weather are free and YouTube has FNC clips up within hours.

[ColtFromGulfcoast 869]

Isn't this something they could have just partnered with another streaming service for in exchange for collecting a fee from said streaming service? Hulu and company or HBO Max come to mind.

That part.

People were dropping cable like flies because of the cost and switching to streaming, and lo and behold, streaming is now just as expensive as cable and much more difficult to keep tabs with since you have separate accounts and log ins for every platform.

I don’t know the full intricacies of it but didn’t Disney just buy out Comcast’s stake in Hulu? How would Fox get their programming onto Hulu if it’s a Disney asset?

[abc7 Man 71]

And this is separate from their FOX Nation streaming channel?

Fox extended their deal with Hulu/Disney last year to continue airing in-season shows the day after their linear broadcast. My guess is that a program's library (in all or parts) will be available on Fox One too. For example, only season 3 of Animal Control is available on Hulu and not the previous seasons. One would assume, season 1 & 2 will be on Fox One and once season 4 starts, then season 3 moves from Hulu to Fox One and so on....

 

I think the question is whether all Fox entertainment programs move to Fox One once the Hulu deal ends in 2029 or will they continue sharing content.

I believe so. i think they want to offer bundles (Fox One & Fox Nation or Fox One, Fox Nation & Tubi, etc..) down the line too.

It's available as a $5 add-on, and I should note that all MVPD/cable subscribers will get access to it for no cost, so thankfully they don't have to pay for it.

[tyrannical bastard 4678]

It's a good test to see how many people want to pay $20 to watch Fox News and drop cable.  This and ESPN going a-la-carte could be the death knells for cable and satellite.

I'd pay a little money to watch Tubi content without ads.  They have a decent library of programming.

Where is FOX Soul they have a chance to be better than BET (which I have a feeling is gonna go go crap under skydance) and Bounce TV. Can black people just have one network that caters to them.

The three other Black cable networks--TV One, its sister Cleo TV, and Bryon Allen's TheGrio--are all pretty much rerun farms, although TV One also delves into true crime and cooking shows.  TV One use to have more variety in their programming, showing more movies (including original ones) and their Unsung series was always well-done.

[nathannah 2792]

The package is of the networks which have cable/satellite coverage (except Fox Soccer); frankly it should be a subchannel network and I don't know why they've never pulled the trigger on putting on the O&Os, but they seem happy distributing Sinclair and Weigel's channels. But they have wide FAST coverage anyways outside Tubi and FoxLocal.

We need a black Telemundo, with news, shows I don’t know about sports. I never watch anything Byron does keep in mind he killed the only black news outlet and merged it into TheGrio, saying we need a “good news channel”, I could rant about older black people for hours anyways we need a news outlet targeted toward us or a digital multicast network that has both news and shows. We need a Jorge Ramos (like the former Univision anchor) but for black people we could name him Laquerious Holt lol. We could have commentators like Dr. Umar Johnson, and Tariq Nasheed, and Judge Joe Brown, Paris Denard. but no Roland Martin (I don’t like him).

[l_miro 245]

looks like FOX rolled all their cable nets retrans fees and called it FOXOne. Great for those into sports I guess but my Disney+ and Hulu no ads subscription is $20/month.

lack of money as we saw recently. Definitely no cash to start clean from zero with investors who can stomach losing money for 5 years hoping it sticks. Add Byron Allen as the CEO and you have a death timer 

 

Spanish TV also isn't raking the big bucks either. Univision was sold in 2020, after 14 years of no losses, for the $10B debt it had, plus $800 mil in cash for 64% equity, valuing it at $1.2B - 91% loss of value. It sold in 2006 to big private equity for $13.5 billion, the future of Spanish TV. AmericaTeVe - imploded after their sugar daddy bailed on them and took what he paid for with him. SBS - sold MegaTV three years ago for $64 million but the buyer reneged unable to scrounge up the cash. Telemundo has NBCUniversal to prop them up but even WSCV can barley make more than WSFL-TV after 20 years, and being #1 in Miami.

 

Jorge Ramos is only who he is because the network invested in him over time. Another one of those things that are not coming back, especially if more talent is doing well for themselves just sitting on their kitchen table talking at a camera. Judge Brown is enjoying the podcast circuit, though he probably had potential to be one of the star talking heads in his younger years but instead chose 2-3 months of a work a year for the same paycheck. Candace is doing 1 mil views on a bad day and $$$$$. Shannon Sharpe got his 2 million subs on YT too. Stephen A Smith also doesn't need an employer though he's on SiriusXM.

It looks like this will have all the current in-season program episodes available to cable/vMVPD customers who have a Fox station in their packages that get loaded on Fox dot com the exact minute linear TV broadcasts begin (yes, shared with Hulu the next day), and live feeds of Fox stations as well.
