With an expansive line-up of local and international news and lifestyle content now on BINGE, FLASH and LifeStyle to be retired, BINGE is expanding its offering to become a one-stop streaming service for popular entertainment, lifestyle and reality shows, and live news from Australia and around the globe.
From 16 December, NBC News NOW, Sky News Extra and Sky News Weather news channels will be added to BINGE, providing even more value to subscribers, adding an additional 25,000+ hours of news content to the platform across the year and bringing the total number of news channels on the platform to 13.
The new news channels join 10 popular live news channels already on BINGE, including Al Jazeera English, Bloomberg News, CNBC, CNN International, FOX SPORTS News, GB News, MS NOW, NHK World Japan, Sky News Australia and Sky News UK.
With the consolidation of popular news channels on BINGE, Foxtel Group will retire its dedicated FLASH news streaming service in February 2026.
In addition, with Australian and international lifestyle and reality shows already on BINGE, including Selling Houses Australia, Love It or List It Australia and The Great Australian Bake Off, the LifeStyle streaming service will also retire in February 2026.
Hilary Perchard, CEO of FOXTEL, Kayo SPORTS and BINGE, said: “These changes make sense for all subscribers. For BINGE subscribers, they receive more value and choice with a larger selection of live news channels. For our FLASH and LifeStyle subscribers, they now have their news and lifestyle together in one place, alongside the world’s best movies, TV shows and documentaries”.
“By simplifying our apps, we can also accelerate improvements to the BINGE customer experience by leveraging our parent company, DAZN’s, technology platform and product development capabilities”.
“At a time when subscribers want greater simplicity and more value, these are the right changes at the right time,” he said.
As part of Black Friday, new and returning BINGE customers can get any BINGE package for just $2 for one month. The offer will expire on December 8, 2025.
FOXTEL customers who receive a complimentary FLASH subscription can continue watching their favourite news channels on FOXTEL and FOXTEL Go. From December16 , they will also gain access to NBC News NOW, which joins the FOXTEL and FOXTEL Go line-up. Already on FOXTEL, Al Jazeera English and CGTN News will also join FOXTEL Go on this date.
