In making the announcement, Ms. Berg said, “Following our

FOX Weather made its debut on Amazon News on Fire TV and Fire

last week. The service is also now available on The Roku Channel
and will launch later this month on Xumo and fuboTV.
Additionally, FOX Weather will now be accessible across FTS’s
Diginet footprint in New York, Seattle, and San Francisco, with
plans to expand to the station group’s remaining 14 markets. The
streaming service will also simulcast one hour per weekday and two
hours on weekends on FTS’s 11 duopoly stations in New York, Los
Angeles, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Dallas, San Francisco, Houston,
Seattle, Phoenix, Minneapolis, and Orlando. FOX Television Stations
owns and operates 29 full power broadcast television stations in
the U.S. These include stations located in nine of the top ten
largest designated market areas, or DMAs, as well as the duopolies
in 11 DMAs. Of these stations, 18 are affiliated with the FOX
Network.
After launching in October 2021, FOX Weather quickly became the
number one most-downloaded free app on Google Play and the Apple
App Store, delivering more than one million downloads in its first
week. The streaming service has rolled out expanded distribution
over the last three months on FOX Business Network via a simulcast
from 6-9 AM/ET on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as Tubi and FOX
Nation. The Fox Weather app is also now available for iPad.
