CBS, FOX and NBC affiliates alongside national sports networks
ESPN, FS1, CBS Sports Network, ACC Network and many more. In
addition to sports, fuboTV also streams popular live entertainment
and news programming and features more than 30,000 TV shows and

even more options to watch the Pittsburgh Pirates and Pittsburgh
Penguins in their home market,” said Nina Kinch, Vice President of
Affiliate Relations for AT&T Sports Networks. “Both teams have
enormous fan bases and we have had a lot of demand to bring these
teams to OTT providers. We are very excited that customers will now
have that option with fuboTV.”
“As a sports-first live TV streaming platform, our goal is to
offer consumers regional sports networks with leading local market
position and full team coverage, at pricing customers can afford,”
said Ben Grad, Head of Content Strategy and Acquisition for fuboTV.
“Therefore, we are excited to bring full home coverage of
Pittsburgh Pirates and Pittsburgh Penguins to their fans with our
new agreement with AT&T Sports Networks. fuboTV is now a great
choice for sports fans in Pittsburgh and, with our leading live
sports, news and entertainment content portfolio, there is
something for everyone at home to watch and enjoy.”
“In talking with many fans over the past year, a recurring theme
I have heard is the strong desire for expanded streaming options to
watch our games, especially among families and young
professionals,” said Travis Williams, President, Pittsburgh
Pirates. “We appreciate AT&T’s SportsNet and fuboTV reaching an
agreement to bring this additional option to our fans. Now family
members who are seemingly constantly on the run and others that
want to watch our games from any device, anywhere within our home
territory have another option to do so.”
