Three additional streaming platforms are now available to select Spectrum customers at no extra cost.
With Hulu, ESPN direct-to-consumer and Fox One, Spectrum customers have access to multiple popular streaming services.
Spectrum announced earlier this year that Hulu and ESPN DTC would be added to the lineup of included streaming services.
“This extension is a true testament to our mutual confidence in this innovative model — which already is showing improvement in subscriber churn — and our commitment to work creatively together to achieve win-win outcomes for both of us and most importantly for our customers — all achieved mid-cycle and absent from any of the typical pressures from expiring agreements,” Tom Montemagno, executive vice president of programming acquisition for Spectrum parent company Charter Communications, said in a June news release.

Hulu is available along with Disney+, a bundle that retails for about $11 per month. The platform offers award-winning shows such as “The Bear” and “Shogun” along with the forthcoming docuseries following UNC football head coach Bill Belichick and the Tar Heels.
The ESPN Unlimited plan retails for about $30 per month and offers access to ESPN’s networks such as ESPN, ESPN2, SEC Network and ACC Network, and 47,000 live events each year, studio shows and original programming. Ads will be shown during live events and studio shows.
Fox One, which includes popular sports, news and other shows, costs about $20 per month.
Streaming services available to Spectrum customers
These three platforms are the latest streaming services Spectrum has made available for certain TV customers.
Max (HBO), Paramount Plus, Peacock, AMC+ and Vix are also included, totaling to more than $100 in value, according to Spectrum.
The Spectrum TV Select Signature plan, the most basic of its Select and Platinum plans, starts at $100 per month for one year.
Streaming platforms are dominating Americans’ TV-watching habits. Viewers spent more than 47% of their TV-watching time in July on streaming platforms, as opposed to broadcast and cable, according to the audience measurement and data firm Nielsen.
That was up from 46% in June and 44.8% in May.
