Fox Corporation announces details of new streaming service: Meet 'Fox One'
Fox Corporation announces details of new streaming service: Meet 'Fox One' Show Caption Hide Caption Fox News guest Camryn Kinsey shares update after fainting on-air Fox News guest Camryn Kinsey has shared an update after fainting live on air during a recent appearance on 'Fox News @ Night.' unbranded - Entertainment 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. Contributing: Gary Levin

Fox next fall: Less drama, more fun and games, but no 'Masked Singer'
Fox next fall: Less drama, more fun and games, but no 'Masked Singer' Fox is unveiling a fall schedule with plenty of reality TV and sports and its usual Sunday animation crop but just two other scripted series. In a lineup presented to advertisers on May 12, 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." Last fall, Fox aired four dramas on two nights. Returning midseason shows include comedies "Animal Control" and "Going Dutch," the animated "Grimsburg" and "Family Guy" and reality competition series "The Masked Singer," which is sitting out fall for the first time since its 2019 premiere. Also due: New drama "Memory of a Killer," about a hitman who develops early Alzheimer's disease; a second revival of NBC's early-2000s gross-out reality show "Fear Factor"; "The Faithful," a three-week series about the Old Testament's Book of Genesis; and "Best Medicine," an hourlong comedy starring Josh Charles ("The Good Wife") as an irascible surgeon who moves to an East Coast fishing village, where his bedside manner is lacking. (It's based on British series "Doc Martin.") "American Dad," another animated comedy that aired on Fox from 2005-14 and then moved to TBS, is returning to Fox at midseason. 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.
