We believe Geir’s expertise and passion for innovation will ensure we maintain our leadership position as we deliver to consumers a next generation live OTT experience.”

Recently fuboTV announced that they now have 300 live local broadcast stations more than DIRECTV NOW, PlayStation Vue, and Sling TV. Right now that would put fuboTV in a tight race with YouTube TV for second place in the race for live TV locals. Currently, Hulu leads with over 400 live local TV stations.
