Venu Sports, the proposed streaming service through a partnership between ESPN, FOX and Warner Bros Discovery has been discontinued.
In a joint statement, ESPN, FOX and Warner Bros Discovery said:
After careful consideration, we have collectively agreed to discontinue the Venu Sports joint venture and not launch the streaming service. In an ever-changing marketplace, we determined that it was best to meet the evolving demands of sports fans by focusing on existing products and distribution channels. We are proud of the work that has been done on Venu to date and grateful to the Venu staff, whom we will support through this transition period.
The news means that fans who were looking to stream INDYCAR sessions will have to purchase a subscription to FS1 and FS2 via cable.
