BINGE is expanding its offering to become a one-stop streaming service for popular entertainment, lifestyle and reality shows, and live news from Australia and around the globe.
From December 16th, NBC News NOW, Sky News Extra and Sky News Weather news channels will be added to BINGE, adding an additional 25,000+ hours of news content to the platform across the year.
This brings the total number of news channels on the platform to 13, joining Al Jazeera English, Bloomberg News, CNBC, CNN International, FOX SPORTS News, GB News, MS NOW, NHK World Japan, Sky News Australia and Sky News UK.
With the consolidation of popular news channels on BINGE, Foxtel Group will retire its dedicated FLASH news streaming service in February 2026. Foxtel Group will also retire the LifeStyle streaming service in February.
“These changes make sense for all subscribers. For BINGE subscribers, they receive more value and choice with a larger selection of live news channels. For our FLASH and LifeStyle subscribers, they now have their news and lifestyle together in one place, alongside the world’s best movies, TV shows and documentaries,” Hilary Perchard, CEO of Foxtel, Kayo Sports and BINGE, said.
“By simplifying our apps, we can also accelerate improvements to the BINGE customer experience by leveraging our parent company, DAZN’s, technology platform and product development capabilities.
“At a time when subscribers want greater simplicity and more value, these are the right changes at the right time,” he said.
