Sports-focused virtual MVPD fuboTV has expanded its entertainment and news offerings, adding Turner channels to the live streaming service’s base package.
Starting today, subscribers will have access to TNT, TBS, CNN, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, truTV, TCM and HLN at no additional cost. The live TV streaming service said the multi-year agreement also bolsters its sports offering with Turner Sports’ NBA, MLB, UEFA, PGA, college and esports lineup becoming available.
fuboTV’s base package costs $44.99 per month and features more than 75 channels, including up to 40 that carry sports.
The channels can be live streamed on the service now, with on-demand programs available in the coming weeks.
fuboTV also added Boomerang and CNN International to its fubo Extra package, which launched in April and offers more than 90 channels for $49.99 per month.
“With today’s launches, fuboTV is hands down the best choice for fans to stream the live sports, entertainment and news programming they demand,” said Ben Grad, fuboTV head of content strategy and acquisition, in a statement. “Adding Turner Sports’ world-class programming builds upon our heritage in soccer while expanding our strong sports offering with more MLB, NBA, PGA and college sports. Plus, the addition of Turner’s iconic news, entertainment and kids brands will continue to drive engagement with viewers, while reinforcing our commitment to offering a premium, high quality cable replacement.”
While fuboTV started out as a live streaming service for soccer, it has since expanded into more entertainment and news offerings. In March the company added a host of AMC Networks’ linear channels to its base package including AMC, BBC America and Sundance.
Since launching in 2015 the company has raised more than $150 million in funding, including a $75 million Series D round in April that saw AMC Networks join existing investors 21st Century Fox, Luminari Capital, Northzone, Sky and the former Scripps Network Interactive – now part of Discovery.
