Fox News Launches New Streaming Service Called Fox Nation

By /

Fox News launched its brand new streaming service “Fox Nation” in an effort to compete in an industry underutilized by conservatives.

What is Fox Nation?

This is Fox’s first foray into the streaming industry, which is also a landmark for conservative programming in general. Fox is hoping to take advantage of this vacuum, filling the space with its already-popular cable stars.

So who will be appearing on Fox Nation? Newsweek has a breakdown of what Fox stars will be appearing on the streaming service and their respective shows:

  • Tomi Lahren, First Thoughts
  • Dana Perino, Dana Perino’s Book Club
  • Rob Schmitt and Carley Shimkus, Primetime Highlights
  • Tyrus and Britt McHenry, UN-PC
  • Stuart Varney, My Take
  • Judge Andrew Napolitano, Liberty File
  • David Webb, Reality Check
  • Todd Starnes, Starnes Country
  • Guy Benson and Marie Harf, Trending
  • Greg Gutfeld, One Smart Person and Greg Gutfeld
  • Brian Kilmeade, What Made America Great

That’s a lot of familiar names!

The New York Times distilled the service with one simple phrase: “think Netflix for conservatives.”

Liberals, of course, immediately mocked the very idea. Former Obama advisor Dan Pfeiffer had nothing nice to say about the network:

Another liberal outlet immediately said the network is full of “bigotry and lies.”

And, of course, one liberal reporter had to use the opportunity to take a shot at the Trump family:

Gee, I seem to remember when it was the height of fascism to even question the veracity and good intentions of the media. Strange how that standard doesn’t apply to Fox News.

Why Fox Nation matters

From a purely business perspective, this is a smart play by Fox. There is a big demand for conservative programming in America, as evidenced by the successful reboot of Tim Allen’s sitcom “Last Man Standing.” (RELATED: “Last Man Standing” Debuts to Stellar Ratings – Over 8M Viewers.)

Likewise, Netflix, which is by far the most recognizable streaming service, has a severe liberal bent. The network not only hired the Obamas to produce exclusive documentaries (RELATED: Obamas Set to Produce Netflix Series About the Trump Administration?) but also hired Obama apparatchik Susan Rice. (RELATED: Netflix Hires Former Obama National Security Adviser Susan Rice – Conservatives React.)

Conservatives responded in kind by boycotting the network. (RELATED: Netflix Approval Rating Drops Among Republicans.)

With so many Republican voters dropping Netflix, Fox may see an opening to meet the demands of this right-leaning audience. It will be interesting to see if Fox can leverage its cable audience to grow this brand news service.

Whatever happens, more streaming options for consumers is always a plus!

    Fox has become apologists for the Democrats – once I found OAN on Verizon, I changed the channel and NEVER looked back. They’re throwing Gutfeld in there to make it appear to be conservative – but every one of those named are Democrat Light. No thanks, I’ll stick with real news on OAN.

    Marie ( Barf) Harf is NOT a CONSERVATIVE! Neither is a few others mentioned! Unless the Calif’s; Motor Mouth (Attack Adder) and Fancy Nancy ( Uh, HUH?, duh, eh) are! IF it’s going to be for Conservatives, HIRE conservatives! Luci Logic: Extreme DI-versity creates AD-versity! i’m tired of watching Fox dive into blatant left Liberal ideology and air it for the TRUTH! If it’s not true, don’t publish it! We’ve got the Prog Prigs, Socialist, Communist and flat disk worshipers to THAT if we want fiction! If it’s undiluted conservative, count me IN! I miss the Fox News when it started and WAS news!

    Is Sean Hannity, Judge Jeanine Pirro, Laura Ingraham, Dan Bongino, Sara Carter, Harris Faulkner and other conservatives are joining too? Why is Marie Harf on the line up. She is a fanatic Liberal Democrat? I will pass if she and the other woman is part of it.
