fubotv is the latest virtual TV service to introduce a sharp subscription fee hike. Youtube TV announced that it was drastically increasing its subscription fees to $ 65 a month.
fubo sent out emails to customers today letting them know that standard plans are increasing from $ 55 a month to $ 65 as of their next billing cycle following August 1, 2020. As part of the hike, people on standard accounts will be rolled into fubo’s family bundle plan, which includes three simultaneous streams, cloud DVR plus, and 500 hours of DVR space.
fubo last increased the price of its standard plan in March 2019, going from $ 45 to $ 55 a month. Other fubotv customers posted screenshots on social media of emails received informing them of $ 5 increases.
‘we need to remove other channels and adjust subscription prices,’ email says. Turner networks will be leaving fubotv as of July 1, 2020.
fubotv is receiving a plethora of Disney channels as part of a multi-year deal. The service is also set to lose a number of warnermedia channels, however, including TNT and TBS.
