FuboTV, an online TV service, has raised $75 million from TV programmers and other investors

Here comes more money to help you watch TV on the internet. And some of the money is coming from the TV guys.

FuboTV, a startup that sells a cable-TV-like “bundle” of live TV you can stream to your laptop, phone or TV, has raised $75 million from a group of investors that includes AMC Networks, 21st Century Fox and Discovery. Traditional VC investors Northzone and Luminari Capital are also in this round.

FuboTV, which had previously raised a total of $75 million, started out as a relatively “skinny” bundle of channels primarily pitched to sports fans (and particularly to soccer fans). It has since transformed into a much less skinny bundle of more than 70 channels, which sells for $45 a month.

That puts it in competition with similar packages from the likes of Hulu, YouTube and AT&T; CEO David Gandler says the company passed the 100,000 subscriber mark last fall, but won’t provide a new number.

The new round is one of many examples of TV programmers showing interest in owning at least some of the distribution companies that will deliver their shows over the internet. Hulu, famously, is owned by four big entertainment companies; Philo, another web TV startup, is partly backed by A&E, Scripps, Discovery, AMC and Viacom. Then there’s Disney, which just launched an ESPN-branded sports streaming service it owns itself, and has a Disney-branded movie-and-TV service scheduled for 2019.

We have a request

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

1. Advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan.

2. We’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — we believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

It’s important that we have several ways we make money, and that’s why we ask readers for help keeping Vox free. Our goal today is for 47 Vox readers to pledge an annual financial gift to Vox to help us keep our work free for everyone. Will you become one of them?
