Fox Appoints Pete Distad to Lead New Direct-to-Consumer Streaming Platform

The former Apple and Hulu executive will oversee Fox's yet-to-be-named subscription service, set to launch by the end of 2025.

Pete Distad, previously with Apple, Hulu, and Venu Sports, has been named CEO of Fox's forthcoming streaming platform.
The new service aims to expand Fox's reach beyond traditional cable, featuring content from Fox News, Fox Sports, and the Fox broadcast network.
Fox Corp plans to launch the subscription-based platform by the end of 2025, though pricing and content specifics have not yet been disclosed.
Distad will report to Paul Cheesbrough, CEO of Tubi Media Group, and will oversee all aspects of the platform's development and operations.
The move signals Fox's push into the competitive streaming market, complementing its existing ad-supported Tubi service, which boasts 97 million monthly active users.
