(Reuters) – Fox News International, the international streaming service that is part of Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Corp, launches in Chile, Panama and Portugal on Dec. 17 – extending its global reach to 30 countries.
The service, which launched in Mexico in August, is available on platforms including Android, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) TV and Android TV. It features live streams of Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network in addition to 20 on-demand programs.
Fox News International is part of Fox’s effort to expand its business beyond cable TV, which is experiencing industry-wide decline as consumers cut their cords and migrate to streaming. Next year, the company is launching Fox Weather, a new advertising-supported streaming service – its eighth platform.
Streaming also attracts a younger audience. Americans aged 65 and older account for 37% of those who say their main source is Fox News, compared with 21% of all adults, according to a 2019 survey from the Pew Research Center.
