Why I can't stream Fox news. Do I need to use a provider such as Cox?

Is the only way to watch Fox news is thru your provider such as Direct TV or Cox?

    Hi kcole,

    Thank you for your first post here in the Roku Community!

    We will be delighted to assist you further with this concern you have with the Fox News channel. Please be advised that, unlike some other TV channels, Fox News does not simulcast its programming through on-demand streaming services like Peacock or Paramount+. If you want to watch Fox News without cable, you'll need to get a live TV streaming service that carries the channel.

    We hope you'll find this information useful. Please let us know if there's anything else we can do to assist you.

    Best regards,
    John

      Fox News, like many cable-type channels,  makes their streaming app available for those who pay for it as part of their paid subscription to a "tv provider" account that carries Fox News.

      This "tv provider" could be a cable or satellite subscription, or one of the streaming services like YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, Fubo, Sling TV, or DTV Stream that carry Fox News.
