with plans to expand availability to DIRECTV STREAM this summer.
Additionally, FOX Weather, the free ad-supported streaming
television (“FAST”) weather service, is scheduled to debut on
DIRECTV STREAM beginning March 29th.
In commenting on the announcement, FOX News Media CEO Suzanne
Scott said, “We are proud to work with DIRECTV, expanding the
distribution of our signature streaming services, FOX Nation and
FOX Weather, and offering more opportunities for our dedicated
viewers to watch our premier content.”
“We want to empower our customers with more capabilities in how
they choose to watch the content they care about most,” said Rob
Thun, Chief Content Officer DIRECTV. “We’re pleased to expand our
relationship with FOX News and add value for our subscribers by
offering FOX Nation and FOX Weather.”
Beginning Sunday, March 20th, DIRECTV customers can add FOX
Nation for $5.99 per month, and at launch, DIRECTV customers can
enjoy a special limited-time offer that includes a 60-day free
trial. Featuring nearly 5,000 hours of original content, FOX
Nation’s robust range of programming includes original series
(Tucker Carlson Today, Tucker Carlson Originals, COPS, Crime
Stories with Nancy Grace, and What Made America Great with Brian
Kilmeade) and curated programming featuring original and acquired

DIRECTV subscribers will be able to conveniently search for FOX

competitors. FOX Weather launched in October 2021 and builds upon
