The “basic” plan for the cheapest Foupo disappeared after only four months

In December, FUBO launched a new plan called “Essential”, which did not hold regional sports channels and its associated hidden drawings.

Four months later, FUBO removed the necessary from its registration page for the new subscribers, and left the “Pro” plan as the cheapest option. While FUBO Pro holds the same price of a list of $ 85 a month as FUBO ESSENTIAL, it also includes regional sporting fees, adding at least $ 13 per month to the total. FUBO does not reveal this until it reaches the final exit page.

It is necessary – and it is actually Do The cost of $ 85 per month – Rummers are available for current subscribers and those who activate an expired subscription. FUBO spokeswoman Jennifer Press has confirmed that she had stopped presenting the plan to new subscribers.

“Since FUBO is the first sports show, consumers prefer the basic plan for professionals with regional sports networks, especially during the baseball season,” she said.

Fobo alternatives

Most of the direct television broadcasting services exclude regional sports from the squad in many markets, including YouTube TV ($ 83 per month), Hulu + Live TV ($ 83 a month), and Sling TV (starting from $ 46 a month). This makes them a little cheaper than the actual price of Fubo Pro, which starts from $ 98 per month after fees.

And if you want regional sport, there are other options. Most MLB, NBA and NHL teams now provide direct services to consumers, where prices range from some markets to $ 30 per month in others. Meanwhile, Directv includes regional sports in its “choice” and its highest packages, and began to present it as an additional 20 -month addition to the new MysPorts plan, which costs $ 70 a month.

Cheaper

Although FUBO’s basic plan is no longer available to new subscribers anymore, the company plans to launch a separate “SPORTS & Broadcast” in the second half of this year. FUBO did not announce a price, but the sources told Matthew Keys that it is likely to cost between 50 and 60 dollars per month.

This step is part of a wider re -calibration of paid TV beams, which have become increasingly enlarged and expensive over the years. TV providers finally persuade programmers to allow reduced packages focusing on specific types (although some resistance remains).

As of now, it is unclear whether regional sports channels will be available as part of the thinness package coming from FUBO, but it may not be mandatory.
