FuboTV Inc. (d/b/a Fubo) (NYSE: FUBO), the leading sports-first live TV streaming platform, and Super Hi-Fi, the leader in AI-powered radio services for broadcast and digital media platforms, today announced the launch of 10 fully branded FAST channel radio stations on Fubo in the United States. It is the first radio experience created from the ground-up for an OTT service, with a TV-first interface and incredible music programming designed specifically for Fubo’s audience.
The new TV-centric stations, collectively called Fubo Radio, include a wide variety of the most popular music from today’s top hits to classic holiday favorites. These stations bring a premium listening experience with world class music programming to Fubo subscribers. Fubo Radio leverages the power of AI through Super Hi-Fi, which delivers a music experience that offers the quality production and engaging content that people expect from the world’s best radio stations.
“Fubo customers “Come for the Sports and Stay for the Entertainment,” which is why bolstering our sports-first content offering with entertainment is always a priority,” said David Gandler, co-founder and CEO of Fubo. “The addition of FAST channel radio stations, Fubo Radio, to our programming lineup diversifies our entertainment choices and redefines what it means to be a cable TV replacement for the entire family.”
Trends indicate the time is right for this breakthrough service. According to a recent Hub Entertainment report* 49% of all television viewers also use their TVs to stream music, and this consumption is growing across all age groups. Edison Research** reports that audio-only listening on a TV has grown 30% in just the past year alone, an explosive growth indicator. Fubo Radio is designed to support and benefit from these usage behaviors while providing a compelling consumer listening experience to complement existing TV viewing habits and the popularity of FAST channels.
“The soundbar is quickly becoming the new home stereo and now, with Fubo Radio, subscribers can enjoy the service in a fresh new way that brings great music into the home,” said Zack Zalon, CEO of Super Hi-Fi. “These high-impact radio stations will help bring meaningful value to Fubo subscribers. We are incredibly proud to support Fubo in bringing this first-of-its-kind service to the market.”
