“fuboTV’s strong Q2 results clearly demonstrate the company’s ability to excel within an increasingly complex linear OTT landscape,” said fuboTV cofounder and CEO David Gandler. “We expect to continue our trajectory by expanding network partnerships and achieving content parity with other virtual MVPD services. This represents a sizable and attractive growth opportunity for fuboTV, particularly towards the end of 2016.”
fuboTV is currently available on Amazon, Android, Apple and Roku devices.
