Fox News International has launched its streaming service on premier platform Roku, endeavoring to strengthen its distribution efforts in Chile, Costa Rica, Germany, Ireland, Mexico, Panama and the United Kingdom.

In addition, the company recently reported its live streaming platform saw double-digit growth across all engagement metrics in the fourth quarter of 2021 compared to the preceding quarter, a press release said. This is the most productive quarter ever recorded in the history of the live-stream platform, according to the release.

In addition to live streams of FOX News Channel (FNC) and FOX Business Network (FBN), the network has a catalog featuring 20 on-demand programs, delivering thousands of hours of FOX News Media programming to viewers across Europe, South America and Asia. Key to this expansion was an August 2019 launch in Mexico. 

Following its new international expansions, FOX News International programming is now available in 37 countries across the globe. 

"Priced at $6.99 per month, FOX News International is currently available through mobile and Over The Top (OTT) devices, including iPhone, Android, Apple TV and Android TV and Amazon Fire TV, in addition to Roku," the press release said. 

Part of New York City-based FOX Corporation, FOX News Media currently reaches 200 million viewers each month with its programming.
