Fubo Aims to Eliminate Streaming Fatigue
FuboTV Inc. (NYSE: FUBO) has officially launched the Fubo Channel Store, a new feature designed to streamline the fragmented world of digital entertainment. This central hub allows consumers to subscribe to and watch premium standalone streaming services without ever leaving the Fubo application, directly addressing a common point of frustration for viewers who are tired of switching between multiple apps to find their content.
The move positions Fubo as an aggregator in the competitive streaming market, focusing on user convenience. “At Fubo, we have always leaned into our proprietary tech stack to differentiate the user experience and solve consumer pain points,” said David Gandler, co-founder and CEO of Fubo. “We hear consumers’ frustration with having to switch between multiple apps to access their favorite content. The Fubo Channel Store offers an aggregated and ingested experience for standalone plans…and delivers it to consumers through a single frictionless experience.”
What’s Available in the Channel Store?
The Fubo Channel Store provides a simplified way to manage and watch a growing list of popular services. It offers what the company calls “frictionless access” by deeply integrating these third-party platforms into its own ecosystem.
Premium Content in One Place
Upon launch, the store features a variety of entertainment and sports programming. Current premium standalone subscriptions available include:
- Paramount+ with Showtime
- Starz
- MGM+
- Hallmark+
- DAZN One
- Direct-to-consumer (DTC) services from multiple regional sports networks (RSNs) in select markets.
Bonus Access to Fubo Free
In a value-added move, any consumer who subscribes to a standalone plan through the Channel Store will also gain access to Fubo Free. This tier offers a robust collection of nearly 200 free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channels, providing a wealth of content at no extra cost and without the need for a primary Fubo pay-TV subscription. This hybrid approach caters to consumers who want specific premium content without committing to a full live TV package.
