Many had wondered if we’d see numbers from Tubi, and FOX has delivered!
13.6 million people opted to use FOX’s streaming service, which is up from their initial projection of 8.5 million. FOX was hoping to lean on their ill-fated Venu app with the big game. But, unfortunately due to mounting issues with launching the service they’ve switched their focus into their homegrown product.
This marks the second consecutive year of viewership growth for the big game. NBC is up next as official broadcast partner of Super Bowl LX, and they’ll be hoping to keep the streak alive.
