Insights
The expansion of Fubo Sports to over-the-air stations marks a significant strategic pivot that could substantially impact Fubo's revenue model and market position. While the streaming industry focuses heavily on digital distribution, this move recognizes an often-overlooked market opportunity - the 12 million+ traditional TV households still relying on OTA broadcasts.
This hybrid distribution strategy offers three key advantages: First, it creates an additional revenue stream through traditional TV advertising, potentially providing better monetization than FAST channels alone. Second, it positions Fubo Sports as a multi-platform brand, increasing visibility and potential audience reach beyond its streaming base. Third, the focus on combat sports and niche leagues like BKFC and PFL provides differentiated content in major markets, potentially driving both OTA viewership and streaming subscriptions.
The timing is particularly strategic given current market dynamics. While cord-cutting continues, OTA viewing has shown resilience, especially for sports content. By securing distribution in top markets like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, Fubo can leverage this stability while maintaining flexibility through its streaming platforms. This could prove especially valuable for advertisers seeking to reach both traditional and streaming audiences through a single partner.
The move also demonstrates Fubo's understanding of sports media consumption patterns. Sports content remains one of the few categories where live viewing is paramount, making it particularly valuable for both OTA and streaming platforms. By expanding distribution while maintaining content rights across multiple platforms, Fubo is building a more robust and diversified business model that could enhance its competitive position in the sports media landscape.
Fubo Sports is now available to more than 12 million traditional TV households as OTA diginets in addition to its continued availability as a FAST channel on Fubo and most free ad-supported streaming platforms.
Fubo Sports OTA programming features thrilling sports, topical shows and award-winning documentaries. Audiences can enjoy content from breakout and niche sports leagues such as Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC), ProBox TV, The Professional Fighters League (PFL) and World Poker Tour, among others. A leading destination for combat sports, the network also broadcasts select live boxing and MMA events.
“In today’s connected and competitive media market, it’s important to reach consumers everywhere they are, whether that be through streaming or traditional platforms,” said Pamela Duckworth, head of Fubo Studios, Fubo. “While cord-cutting is continuing to accelerate, there are still millions of American households who rely on OTA for sports, news and entertainment. Expanding distribution of our owned & operated linear Fubo Sports network to OTA stations maximizes accessibility for consumers while also creating a new revenue stream for Fubo.”
Launched in 2019 and female-founded, Fubo Sports is the FAST (free ad-supported streaming TV) network owned and operated by live TV streaming platform Fubo that streams over 600 live sporting events each year. To watch even more programming, follow Fubo Sports on Instagram, TikTok, X and YouTube.
