Foxtel overhauls entertainment and lifestyle offering to be ‘unapologetically and unmistakably Foxtel’
Subscription TV provider Foxtel has overhauled its entertainment and lifestyle offering in a bid to reposition itself in the market, launching four new and exclusive Fox-branded channels and a refreshed Lifestyle franchise.
From November 7 Foxtel subscribers will have access to Fox One, Fox Funny, Fox Hits and Fox Crime in addition to the existing Fox Showcase, Fox 8, Fox Classics and Fox sports channels.
Foxtel CEO Patrick Delany said the new channels take advantage of the ‘global entertainment brand’ that is Fox.
The constant changes in branding, agencies and positioning reek micromanaging by News Corp Australia.
no wonder no decent marketer would work there.
No doubt they will rebrand the channels to News Corp as well.
Look out for Game Of Thrones on Body & Soul!
bring back the dots!
It’s just not worth the money any more we have cut down to basics and looking to cut it right off.. Have been customers since 1995 ?✌️
So womens’ favourite programming is “salacious gossip and drama”? How out of touch can you be? Maybe Foxtel is going to bring back The Mike Walsh Show?
Hi what about some Indian channels
According to our white folks, we butter chickens don’t exist in their spectrum of marketing. So, tough luck buddy, you are stuck with what they have to offer…100% pure white programs.
Hey just saw on Adnews – ZEE5 announced a partnership with Lebara Australia to bring entertainment content for South Asians. Will be hitting Ozland shores soon. So getting ready to do the Bollywood jiggle!
I literally lol’d at this
Too much rubbish and way too mant commercials. I did not sign up for this and over the years it has gotten worse.
What about a decent music channel
Bring back Channel [V]!
Foxtel has gotten worse over the years, not the best material and too many commercials.
The all-boys club decided that their less counterpart ie, the women in frocks need a hug…so brought in ’emotionally bonding’ Arena.
VOMIT!!
Of course, there’s nothing else like it Australia, it’s a state-sanctioned monopoly.
They need to come up with a way for their offering to be one price for all. I don’t know how they can make it make business sense but I don’t see why anyone is paying their monthly rate when people are now expecting a ‘one price for all content’.
That’s odd. I’m on ‘one price for all content’ agreement and have been for years.
We don’t need more channels we need more new programs and NOT repeats – repeat -repea – repe – rep – repeatedly !!!!!!!!!
Absolutely
Way too little, way too late! Foxtel burnt me off long ago with their bs overpriced packages when they were the only show in town. Now with competition & their subscribers leaving in droves, they want you to come back plus sign a contract. Don’t fall for this three card trick, Foxtel is at the bottom of the pile where they need to be for a few more years yet.
Can you tell me what has happened to shows like Chicago PD Chicargo fire have been no new series for quite a while??
It doesn’t really matter what Foxtel or News Corp do, someone is going to blow up or complain on Mumbrella lololol
How is any of this a negative to the consumer or advertiser?
How does this negatively effect your life?
My god people love to whinge and complain about absolutely nothing.
Affect is the verb. Mind you, you probably read the Daily Tele
I agree with you 100% all everyone has done is be negative and whinge whinge whinge
Yeah this all sounds familiar to subscribers.Folks it’s not worth it yet again.Foxtel even linking up with Netfix.Kayo and Foxtel who are under the same ownership are the two most expensive ways to watch TV.Ive. e’en with Foxtel for years paying above and beyond (ripped off).Iam now on a $10pm ,just to keep the box for 12months.Then it’s good bye Foxtel hello DISNEY PLUS.
Go Tubi … ??
its good to see the overhaul but I would like to know if the crime channel will be included in fox crime or just crime drama shows. they also need to reduce prices, that is their biggest problem Netflix, stan, hayu etc are all much cheaper than foxtel
WhAt the he’ll happened to nfl red zone
First its was english football league now nfl redzone, I hate hostel. Very pissed off sports fan right here
The NFL took redzone in house. Only available via league pass now.
I have had Foxtel for at least 20 years and sick of seeing out of date DIY shows on Lifestyle played over and over and over. It’s about time you put on new programs on most Chanel’s or you will be loosing me too.
I get sports, drama + hd for $39 per month no joke.
Please explain, I’m genuinely curious.
Why would you pay a subscription fee to watch adverts? Shouldn’t they be paying you to watch?
‘unapologetically and unmistakably Foxtel’ is code for LOTS of repeats & paying money to watch ads.
Far too many repeats especially BBCFirst
Yes Foxtel has got worse over the years far too many repeats shows that were on the basic package are now on showcase s where subscribers have to pay 20 bucks how many time.do.really wanna sex and the city.and Friends.constantly movin channels appalling service no value for.money anymore its time.to.go Foxtel.
It’s to late! As soon as britbox arrives in Australia Foxtel is going, already got acorn. Repeats. I thought BBC first was great now, repeats. Uk channel is a joke. If it wasn’t for Eastenders Casualty. I’d have got rid years ago.
How about bringing back Jerry Springer and Maury Povich.
Foxtel is too write white centric for a multicultural society that Australia has become. No shows to cater for the Chinese, Indians, Africans and African American, etc. For example, MTV base and BET are on UK Sky but Foxtel doesn’t want them here.
4 mins of show and 6 mins of ads, repeats after repeats,
Movie channel at no extra cost, $40 to $100 a month to much.
Foxtel think their customers are morons same shows repeat after repeat all their pricing is geared toward new customers but once they have you they jack up the price. Extra price for every package extra price for HD its a rip off.
If they wanted a good subscriber base then it should be max $59 a month for everything in HD and then they would get some people signing up. Transfer all their existing customers to this same price/ package Instead of waiting for us to ring up to cancel the service before offering us a decent deal.
What about Foxtel bringing back the hallmark channel as well.
I watch mainly fox 8 for cw, Freeform tv shows
My wife and I would love to see Fashion TV back on.
We really miss the Saturday Real Estate Programme as well.
When is ncis la season 11 release on australia foxtel channel 118
