Meanwhile, however, cable news rivals like Time Warner-owned CNN have yet to unveil any plans for subscription-based streaming services. This month, CBS unveiled plans to launch a sports service, “CBS Sports HQ,” and a service for its “Entertainment Tonight” show later in the year. The venture is the latest in a string of subscription services by traditional media companies. The web-based network will be housed at Fox News headquarters in New York.
The company didn’t elaborate on which hosts would appear on Fox Nation, but said hiring for the new online network will begin in the second quarter. “This initiative will capitalize on providing that viewer, who is among the most affluent and well educated in cable, with a highly specialized content experience on a platform they can watch anytime, anywhere,” said John Finley, Fox’s SVP of development and production. The over-the-top platform, which will be available without a cable package, will debut in the fourth quarter of this year, with pricing to be announced at a later date. While Fox stars like Sean Hannity may make cameos, there won’t be overlap with the cable network’s lineup - or reruns, for that matter - because of contractual obligations with cable companies, Fox said. The Netflix-like news hub, which will be called “Fox Nation,” will stream a fresh lineup of new, original shows with mostly new hosts and commentators to complement the cable network’s programming, Fox News parent 21st Century Fox said.įox shares a common owner with News Corp., which publishes The Post.
