News of FuboTV’s rate increases comes after Google’s YouTube TV this week jacked up the price of its base package 30%, to $65 per month. Once positioned as a cheaper alternative to traditional cable and satellite TV, OTT television packages have steadily raised their rates - and they aren’t really a bargain anymore. Meanwhile, FuboTV’s Ultra Bundle - which includes Showtime channels and additional sports and entertainment networks - now costs $84.99 per month (up from $79.99), a price change that went into effect for new customers June 30. Those increases take effect starting Aug. Under the new pricing plans, Fubo Standard increases 9%, to $59.99 per month the Family Bundle is rising 8% to $64.99 monthly. Those are scheduled to be added to FuboTV sometime in August. Therefore, Turner networks will be leaving FuboTV as of July 1.”įuboTV’s price hikes come ahead of the addition of ESPN and other Disney-owned networks, under a pact with Disney Media Networks announced last week. In a message on its customer-service site, FuboTV says, “Sometimes, to help us bring you new channels and deliver premium features like live sports in 4K, we need to remove other channels and adjust subscription prices. “We are disappointed that our deal with FuboTV is not being renewed, as we have been working with them and were open to a potential renewal,” WarnerMedia said in a statement.
