New initiative allows StarHub Mobile postpaid customers to stream unlimited content on FOX+ without incurring any local data charges

Singapore, 11 April 2018 – Starting today, viewers in Singapore will be able to subscribe to FOX+ and binge-watch over 10,000 hours of fresh, original and exclusive content. This is part of a collaboration between FOX Networks Group (FNG) and StarHub to make the service accessible to all in Singapore. StarHub Mobile postpaid customers will also be able to stream content on FOX+ without incurring any local data charges.

FOX+ is a premium video-streaming service from FOX Networks Group (FNG) promising an unrivalled combination of content across multiple genres. Subscribers can stream the latest TV series the same day as the US, catch first-run Hollywood blockbuster titles and indulge in documentaries from the National Geographic Channel. Fans of Asian entertainment are in for a treat with unfettered access to blockbuster films, popular dramas and hit variety shows from Hong Kong, Korea and Taiwan. Those craving for some local content will be pleasantly surprised with films like Ah Boys to Men and Lulu the Movie. To top it off, sports fanatics will never miss a single sporting moment with the live stream of FOX Sports channels in high definition.

“FOX Networks Group is a long-standing partner and we share the same commitment to delivering the best and latest content to our customers,” said Mr Justin Ang, Head of Product, StarHub. “In addition to the depth and breadth of FNG’s content, StarHub Mobile postpaid customers can stream content on FOX+ without incurring local data charges, allowing them to fully enjoy the viewing experience without worrying about their data usage. We are also opening up FOX+ to all viewers, which means that non-StarHub customers can also get in on all the fun.”

Rohit D’silva, Executive Vice President and Managing Director – South East Asia, Hong Kong and Australia said of the initiative, ‘As the only video-streaming service in Asia to combine TV shows, Hollywood movies and live sports, in one place, accessible from any device, at any time and in HD, FOX+ is truly unique in its offering. We are excited to announce this initiative as part of an ongoing partnership with StarHub, showcasing our premium content to an even wider audience.’
