Sports-first live TV streaming platform FuboTV announced Monday it is expanding its sports, entertainment, news and Latino programming with the launch of six NBCUniversal (NBCU) free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channels in Canada.
Three of the channels — NBC News Now, Noticias Telemundo Ahora and Telemundo al Dia — are available today on Fubo Canada’s Sports, Entertainment and Premium channel plans, with three additional English-language channels — GolfPass, Dateline 24/7 and American Crimes — coming to all Canadian plans soon, according to a Fubo press release.
“We’re delighted to offer Fubo’s Canadian customers an even richer selection of sports, entertainment and news programming from NBCU’s esteemed content library in both English and Spanish languages,” Ben Grad, senior vice president of strategic partnerships and operations at Fubo, said in the release. “The addition of NBCU’s FAST channels underscores our commitment to bring Canadians the best one-stop viewing experience for premium streaming content.”
“This partnership not only strengthens our footprint in the Canadian marketplace,” said Matt Farina, senior vice president of NBCUniversal content distribution, “but also achieves our goal of distributing NBCU’s premium programming portfolio to the widest audience possible.”
