Fox is planning to get into the streaming business, offering a single platform to consumers featuring the company’s sports and Fox News programming.

Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch said on the company’s second-quarter earnings call Tuesday that “we would see that package as a package that’s holistic of all of our content of sports and news,” as transcribed by financial news site and markets platform Investing.com.

Mr. Murdoch emphasized that Fox does not anticipate changing viewers who get FS1, Fox News or other Fox content via cable into streaming customers, and that it would be reflected in the pricing for the planned streaming platform.

“We don’t want and we have no intention of churning a traditional distribution customer into our D2C customer. And so our subscriber expectations will be modest, and we’re going to price the service accordingly. And it’s also important to note with those modest expectations, we do not expect any exclusive rights costs or additional incremental rights costs,” Mr. Murdoch said.

The company had previously been involved, along with ESPN owner Disney and TNT Sports owner Warner Bros Discovery, in an attempt to launch an all-sports streaming service called Venu Sports. The project has since been axed.

“Our only disappointment in sports is that we will not be moving forward with Venu … in the end, the legal distractions around the business became increasingly difficult to bear,” Mr. Murdoch said.
