In addition, DirecTV is now offering out-of-home streaming for Fox national networks including FX, FXX, FS1, FS2, National Geographic Channel and Nat Geo WILD. The new channels bring DirecTV’s Everywhere platform lineup to 50 out-of-home live streaming channels.
DirecTV says video-on-demand content from all FOX networks will also be available to authenticated subscribers beginning in the first quarter of 2015.
With the agreement, now 80% of pay TV customers can access FOX, FX, FXX, National Geographic Channel, and Nat Geo WILD through websites and mobile devices.
The FOX apps and websites can be authenticated with a DirecTV subscriber’s email and password.
“Adding Fox’s national networks to our out-of-home streaming lineup gives our customers even more of their favorite programming in a seamless and consistent way, across as many platforms as possible,” said Dan York, chief content officer, DirecTV.
