Fox CEO Forecasts 5 Million Subscribers in 5 Years for Forthcoming Sports Streaming Service
• Fox CEO Lachlan Murdoch forecasts the forthcoming sports streaming service backed by Fox, Disney, and Warner Bros. Discovery will reach 5 million subscribers in its first 5 years
• Murdoch cited pricing speculation of $40-$50 a month but said the final price will be at the higher end of projections
• The service will include 14 linear feeds from member companies, covering NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB; no additional regional networks or full-season offerings planned yet
• Murdoch sees "incremental" benefit to Fox from cord-cutters seeking cheaper sports access, not a threat to existing pay TV business
• Fox remains focused on linear programming and has no plans to re-enter broader entertainment streaming wars, though open to distribution-agnostic sports streaming
