Foxtel will maintain its local character, led by the CEO, Patrick Delany, and his world-class management team.

They are a perfect match for us as we look toward this next era of growth.

"We have been grateful for the support of News Corp while we reimagined the future of Foxtel. In 2019, when we merged Foxtel and Fox Sports we had many people questioning our future.

在我們重新構想Foxtel的未來時,我們感激新聞集團的支持。2019年,當我們合併Foxtel和Fox Sports時,許多人對我們的未來表示質疑。

"After launching Kayo later in 2019 and BINGE in 2020, today we are the largest Australian-based streamer of sport and entertainment, we have stabilised our Foxtel base and launched Hubbl to help consumers find all the streamed content they love all in one place. This wouldn't have been possible without the support and encouragement of News Corp."

在2019年晚些時候推出Kayo和2020年推出BINGE之後,今天我們已經成爲澳洲最大的體育和娛樂流媒體平台,我們已經穩定了Foxtel的基礎,並推出Hubbl,幫助消費者在一個地方找到他們喜歡的所有流媒體內容。這一切都離不開新聞集團的支持和鼓勵。
