Fox Corporation announced that three of its free ad-supported TV (FAST) channels — LiveNOW from Fox, FOX Soul, and the previously announced FOX Weather — are now available on the Amazon news app on Fire TV. The agreement is Fox’s first deal for its full portfolio of network-based FAST and AVOD content. With the launch, U.S. customers can access those channels, as well as hundreds of short-form weekly segments from Fox News, Fox Business, and Fox Sports.
