Fox News To Launch ‘Fox News International’ Streaming Service

Fox News Media announced Tuesday plans to launch a new digital streaming service, Fox News International, which will bring Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network programming to twenty countries by the end of 2020. The direct-to-consumer service will debut in Mexico on August 20, followed by Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom on September 17.

“We are excited to debut Fox News International, enabling our devoted audience overseas access to their trusted source for news and insightful analysis,” said Fox News Media chief executive officer Suzanne Scott in a statement. “With a catalog of more than 20 signature programs on-demand and live streams of our linear networks, this new digital streaming service will ensure our viewers around the world never miss out on the latest from America’s leading news channel.”

The new service, priced at $6.99 per month, will bring FNC’s top-rated prime time programs like Hannity, Tucker Carlson Tonight and The Ingraham Angle to viewers around the world, along with the network’s news programs and FBN’s business-focused shows like Maria Bartiromo’s Wall Street and Lou Dobbs Tonight.

Cable news rival CNN has long had a foothold overseas, with CNN International being carried on cable and satellite providers in countries around the world since 1985. Unlike Fox News International, CNNI produces its own daily schedule of international-focused programming with hosts like Christiane Amanpour, along with re-broadcasts of some of CNN’s domestic programs.
