Fox News has set the debut date for its new on-demand subscription-based service, Fox Nation, John Finley, senior vice president of development & production, announced Thursday. The OTT platform will be available starting Tuesday, Nov. 27.
The service will be priced at $5.99 a month or $64.99 per year.
“We are incredibly excited to bring our viewers exclusive access, content and experiences from our FOX News stars at an attainable price,” Finley said. “In an on demand era of viewers watching content wherever and whenever they want, FOX Nation will complement and enhance our powerhouse FOX News programming for the loyal superfans who want to remain connected to our signature platforms.”
Prior to the service’s launch, Fox News will open a pre-sale process for Fox Nation on Sunday, Oct. 28, via the “FOX Nation Founders Program.”
Per Fox News, “The exclusive pre-sale program will offer four limited edition packages, providing elite merchandise for early subscribers. Additionally, for every fan signing up for the service on Veterans Day (November 11), FOX Nation will donate $5 to the charity Folds of Honor, which provides educational scholarships to the children and spouses of fallen and disabled service members.”
On Sunday, Fox News will air “FOX Nation First Look” at 8 p.m. ET/PT, a special in which Fox Nation stars will give a sneak peek at their offerings on the new platform, including “The Five” co-host and “Watters World” host, Jesse Watters; “First Thoughts & Final Thoughts” host Tomi Lahren; “Fox & Friends Weekend” co-host Pete Hegseth; and co-hosts of “Fox Nation’s Un-PC,” Britt McHenry and Tyrus.
