Many Fox News viewers will be cheering: Fox News is soon offer a 24-hour streaming service called Fox Nation, Mediaite and others reported.
Fox News aired its first commercial for Fox Nation during Thursday night football, featuring conservative commentator Tomi Lahren advertising the subscription service.
“This is our time, and this is going to be our place,” says Lahren says in the television ad.
Fox News has “defied the downward trends in the television business,” as The New York Times said in its coverage of the new service.
Fox earned its highest rated year in 2017 — while other networks saw audiences dwindle.

“But the mass migration of viewers away from traditional cable and satellite packages is accelerating,” noted The Times, and Fox News is planning its future in the digital realm that rivals such as CNN have put off.
Fox Nation will feature new specials and documentaries — and best of all — will not require a cable subscription to watch.
Fox News has hired conservative pundit Britt McHenry to provide commentary on the streaming service, according to The Wrap.
McHenry is current host of “Like It Or Not” on Washington, D.C.’s local WTTG station (Fox 5), and also contributes to The Federalist.
Sure to stir up some controversy: McHenry is also known for a viral video in which she was seen berating a towing company employee — and for saying that she was demoted from a previous job at ESPN because she was white and too-well paid.
Fox Nation will not overlap with Fox News — not even Fox News reruns — because of the channel’s contractual agreements with cable operators, said Mediaite. |
