Varun Narang, former chief product officer at India-based streaming service Disney+Hotstar, has been appointed to the same role at Fox Corp.
Reporting to Chief Technology Officer and President of Digital Paul Cheesbrough, Narang will oversee all Fox-branded streaming products, platforms and engineering talent.
Fox Corp. began a new chapter as a stand-alone company in 2019, with assets including the Fox broadcast network, Fox News, FS1 and a portfolio of local TV stations. Disney acquired most of its corporate predecessor, 21st Century Fox, including its film and TV studios as well as international operations like Star.
Unlike many of its traditional media peers, Fox has not gone pedal-to-metal on streaming, a logical approach given its highly lucrative linear network holdings and significant news and sports programming. Over time, though, the company has gradually increased its streaming efforts, acquiring a leading ad-supported platform, Tubi TV, expanding subscription service Fox Nation and launching free outlet Fox Soul.
