fuboTV’s Linear Sports Channel Will Produce NFL Stars’ Popular Podcast as New TV Series
Fubo Sports Network, the live, free-to-consumer TV network from sports-first live TV streaming platform fuboTV Inc. (NYSE: FUBO), will premiere the first season of Getcha Popcorn Ready With T.O. and Hatch on Sunday, August 22 at 8pm ET/PT. Hosted by NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Owens and former NFL wide receiver Matthew Hatchette, the series brings the longtime friends’ podcast to TV for the first time, featuring celebrity guests who will cover everything from sports to entertainment.
With an undeniable chemistry and a commitment to real talk and actual differences of opinion, this new series brings every bit of the entertainment that Hall of Fame showman T.O. famously promised football fans when he told them to get their popcorn ready.
Commented T.O. and Hatch: “We love what Fubo Sports Network is building, and we’re excited for Getcha Popcorn Ready to be a part of it. With Fubo playing quarterback, we know we’re gonna put up some huge numbers.”
“We’re focused on building an original programming slate of vodcast/podcasts hosted by iconic athletes with a fresh point of view that fans want to hear,” said Pamela Duckworth, head of Fubo Sports Network and original programming. “Getcha Popcorn Ready fits perfectly with this approach, and we are so thrilled that Terrell and Matt have joined the Fubo Sports Network family.”
Getcha Popcorn Ready with T.O. and Hatch will be produced in Los Angeles and distributed by Fubo Sports Network as a vodcast and audio podcast series. New episodes will air every Sunday at 8pm ET/PT.
