The streaming wars are getting a little more crowded as of this fall.
Fox Corporation announced May 12 that its new streaming service featuring all of its entertainment, news and sports content, will be launching this fall and dubbed Fox One. The new service will include live streaming and on-demand access to local Fox stations, Fox News, Fox Business, FS1, FS2, Fox Weather, Fox Sports, BTN, Fox Deportes and the Fox network. Users will also have the option to bundle with existing streaming service Fox Nation.
The new service is set to launch this fall ahead of the NFL and college football seasons, the company said in a news release. No price was announced for the service, but it's targeted at consumers who have already cut the cord, and the company hopes to keep its existing cable subscriber viewers.
'We do not want to lose a traditional cable subscriber to Fox One,' CEO Lachlan Murdoch said on an earnings call announcing the new name and details. He also indicated they are pursuing bundle options for the streaming service.
Fox is the only major network that doesn't already have a dedicated streaming service from its parent company: ABC has Disney+ and Hulu, NBC has Peacock and CBS has Paramount+. The company hopes its strong brand will attract subscribers to Fox One, which will lack the archival film and TV content of those other streamers.
'We know that Fox has the most loyal and engaged audiences in the industry, and Fox One is designed to reach outside of the pay-TV bundle and deliver all the best Fox branded content directly to viewers wherever they are,' said Pete Distad, CEO of FOX One. 'We have built this platform from the ground up to allow consumers to enjoy and engage with our programming in new and exciting ways, leveraging cutting edge technology to enhance the user experience across the platform.'
Fox network also announced its lineup for the fall on May 12 at its annual upfront presentation, in which networks and streamers try to tempt advertisers to their platforms with sneak peeks at the new shows. The network is pairing two returning freshmen, medical drama "Doc" and mystery "Murder in a Small Town," on Tuesday nights, but will air game shows on Monday and Wednesday, including two newcomers, "99 To Beat" and a celebrity revival of onetime NBC hit "The Weakest Link."
Fox has canceled "Rescue: Hi-Surf," a freshman drama for which it had high hopes, along with "9-1-1: Lone Star." The network is waiting to announce the fates of three other shows – "Alert: Missing Persons Unit," "The Cleaning Lady" and "The Great North" – while each is airing new episodes. Final decisions usually come by June 30.

Have you seen Marty McFly's iconic cherry red guitar? Gibson launches search for long-lost 'Back to the Future' prop
Hill Valley, Calif.: The search for Marty McFly's missing cherry red guitar is underway after it mysteriously vanished several decades ago, and the hope is that it could be recovered without a DeLorean. Gibson — the brand behind the iconic ES-345 that star Michael J. Fox wields in Back to the Future for a memorable performance of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" — has launched a global search for the instrument, which filmmakers discovered missing 40 years ago during the making of the 1989 sequel. Alongside the film's stars, which also include Lea Thompson and Christopher Lloyd, Gibson has called on fans to assist with the search. Have any information on its whereabouts? Tips can be sent to Gibson online at or via call/text at 1-855-345-1955. The search was launched in tandem with Gibson Films' Lost to the Future, an upcoming documentary about the search for the elusive guitar and the impact the film — namely, Marty McFly's guitar solo scene — has had on music superstars today, including Coldplay's Chris Martin and singer-songwriter John Mayer. Fox's time-traveling teen shreds the cherry red ES-345 during the 'Enchantment Under the Sea' school dance in Robert Zemeckis's 1985 classic, stunning the crowd with a hit that had yet to be released. Fox and his costars, as well as the film's co-writer and producer Bob Gale, provide in-depth interviews in the upcoming doc from director Doc Crotzer, which also coincides with the film's 40th anniversary. "This guitar has been lost to the future," Lloyd says in the doc's trailer. Fox adds, 'It's somewhere lost in the space-time continuum, or it's in some teamster's garage.' 'This is the movie that made me want to be a filmmaker, and the scene that made me pick up a guitar for the first time,' Crotzer said in a statement. "As children of the '80s, it is our duty to take fans of music, fans of the movie, and fans of true crime documentaries with us on this too-crazy-to-believe quest to find our generation's Excalibur.' 'Guitar has always been a big part of my life,' Fox said in his own statement. 'When we talked about the 'Enchantment Under The Sea' scene, I sat down with the cinematographer and choreographer and said I want to riff through all of my favorite guitarists, like doing Jimi Hendrix behind the head, Pete Townshend doing a windmill, and the Eddie [Van Halen] hammer thing, it was so cool that they were open to that, and we laid it all out there." "I'm really happy with the scene because it was an expression of my love for guitar and all the great players," Fox added. "I didn't realize the influence the scene had on people. John Mayer said, 'I play guitar because of you,' and Chris Martin said the same thing, and I am glad they took it further than I did [and] went to the trouble of being really good players. I just love the guitar, and I love the movie." Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Three British nationals could face death by firing squad for allegedly smuggling cocaine into Indonesia
Three British nationals could face death by a firing squad after they allegedly smuggled about a kilogram – over two pounds – of cocaine onto the island of Bali in Indonesia. The Associated Press reported that prosecutor I Made Dipa Umbara said 28-year-old Jonathan Christopher Collyer and 29-year-old Lisa Ellen Stocker were arrested Feb. 1, after customs officers stopped them at the X-ray machine when they found suspicious items disguised as food packages inside their luggage. Umbara told the District Court in Denpasar during a court hearing on Tuesday that a lab test result confirmed 10 pouches of "Angel Delight" powdered dessert mix in Collyer's luggage, along with seven similar pouches in Stocker's suitcase contained 993.56 grams, or 2.19 pounds, of cocaine, worth about 6 billion rupiah ($368,000). Two days after Collyer and Stocker were arrested, police arrested 31-year-old Phineas Ambrose Float after a delivery sting set up by law enforcement that involved the other two suspects handing the drug to him in the parking lot of a hotel in Denpasar. American Basketball Player Arrested In Indonesia Could Face Death Penalty For Cannabis Candy: Report Float is being tried separately, according to Umbara. Read On The Fox News App The cocaine was transported from England to Indonesia by way of the Doha International Airport in Qatar, Umbara explained. The trio successfully smuggled cocaine into Bali on two previous occasions before being stopped on their third attempt, Ponco Indriyo, the deputy director of the Bali Police Narcotics Unit, said during a news conference in Denpasar on Feb. 7. Australian Authorities Intercept Over A Ton Of Cocaine Worth $400M The charges against the trio were announced on Tuesday in a Bali courtroom. If convicted, they could face the death penalty. In Indonesia, drug smugglers are sometimes executed by way of a firing squad. A panel of three judges adjourned the trial until June 10, when the court will listen to testimony from witnesses. Noem Calls For The Death Penalty Following Maritime Human Smuggling Attempt That Left Child Dead According to the Ministry of Immigration and Corrections, there are currently 530 people on death row in Indonesia, including 96 foreigners, mostly for drug-related crimes, the AP reported. The last executions in Indonesia were of an Indonesian and three foreigners, which were carried out in July 2016. Lindsay Sandiford, 69, from Great Britain, has been on death row in Indonesia for over a decade. Sandiford was arrested in 2012 after she was discovered to be in possession of more than eight pounds of cocaine in the lining of her luggage at Bali's airport. The highest court in Indonesia upheld the death sentence for Sandiford in 2013. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime says Indonesia is a major drug-smuggling hub despite having some of the strictest drug laws in the world, in part because international drug syndicates target its young population.
