Fox Corp. and Verizon have renewed their multi-year distribution agreements. Fox Weather and Tubi are now available via Fios TV.
Per Verizon and Fox, the extended agreement will see the continued distribution all of Fox’s brands on Fios TV, including Fox News Media, Fox Sports, Fox broadcast network and local Fox owned-and-operated TV stations in markets like New York, Washington, D.C. and Philadelphia.
Fox Weather and AVOD service Tubi will also be added to Fios TV’s TV lineup. These services will be available on both Fios TV set-top boxes as well as other platforms.
“Fox is pleased to extend and expand our long-standing relationship with Verizon as we add Fox Weather and Tubi to our industry-leading portfolio of news, sports and entertainment available to Verizon’s subscribers,”Michael Biard is president of operations at Fox Corporation and was quoted as saying.
Verizon Fios offers bundled internet access and telephone services that operate over a fiber optic network. This is different from traditional cable. Fios TV is similar to live TV streaming services like YouTube TV and fuboTV. Fios TV delivers live TV to customers via the internet.
As streaming wars continue to rage and cord-cutters have a negative impact on business models, distribution agreements between TV providers and media companies are getting more complex and longer. Fios TV customers can rest assured that their favorite Fox brands won’t be leaving Fios TV anytime soon after the completion of a new agreement between Fox Corp., and telco giant Verizon.
