Foxtel prepares for ‘wholesale repositioning’ with new channel and programming

Foxtel has released details about its newest channel as part of a series of announcements which aim to realign the focus of the business.

BBC Earth will launch on October 10 and bring a host of popular streaming titles to the Foxtel network, including Planet Earth II and Blue Planet II which will be available to stream on-demand. Foxtel CEO Patrick Delany said the new addition is part of a much larger plan for the subscription TV business, which will see it transform its positioning and entertainment and lifestyle offerings.

“The October debut of BBC Earth on Foxtel will form part of a larger announcement at the launch event of Foxtel Media, the media sales company formerly known as Multi-Channel Network (MCN), in Sydney, where we will unveil a wholesale repositioning and renewal of Foxtel’s entertainment and Lifestyle channels,” said Delany.
