To clarify the earlier reports, a fuboTV spokesperson told us that “fuboTV believes in the future of pay TV and we are looking at launching an ad-supported channel not a platform.”įuboTV hasn’t yet detailed its plans for the ad-supported content. The cord-cutting news site Cord Cutters News and The Streamable both earlier reported some of these networks would come to a fuboTV free streaming service, citing The Wrap, but the company tells us that’s not accurate. Last year, it also launched an “Extra” tier that offers other lifestyle and entertainment channels like BBC World News, Cooking Channel, DIY Network, Game Show Network, Sony Movie Channel, BabyTV, Revolt and INSP, as well as streaming channels like Stadium and People TV, among others. The company has been steadily expanding its streaming service beyond sports over the past couple of years, with deals to add channels to its lineup, including Cheddar, CBSN, CBS Sports Network, The CW, Pop and others. Gandler characterized its ad-supported video plans as being “a little bit smaller and more straightforward” than others on the market, but said the company believes it will help fuboTV’s profitability. The news was exclusively shared with The Wrap (paywalled) in an interview with fuboTV co-founder and CEO David Gandler.įuboTV confirmed the accuracy of the report to TechCrunch, but declined to provide further details about its forthcoming plans.
The sports-focused streaming service fuboTV will soon follow the rest of the industry by offering its own free and ad-supported streaming channel, in addition to its paid subscription, sometime later this year.
