Fubo and Hulu Join Forces to Boost Live TV Streaming

USATue Jan 07 2025
Prepare for a big change in the world of live TV streaming! Fubo and Hulu with Live TV are teaming up to create a powerful new service. Disney, which owns Hulu, will take the lead in this merger. Don't worry, both services will still be available separately, but there will be new subscription packages once the deal is done. Fubo users will keep using their app, and Hulu's live TV subscribers will still have access to the Disney bundle and use the Hulu app. This move also ends a legal battle between Fubo and companies like Disney, Fox, and Warner Bros. Discovery over a now-canceled sports streaming service called Venu Sports. So, what's in it for you, the viewer? Well, Disney has agreed to let Fubo launch a new service called "Sports & Broadcast. " This means you'll get to watch popular channels like ABC, ESPN, and more. Fubo has lost some channels in the past, like Food Network and HGTV, but this new deal brings back exciting options. David Gandler, the CEO of Fubo, is excited about this change. He thinks it'll give customers more choices and help both services grow. But remember, the merger still needs approval from regulators.
