Looking forward to it being added to Fetch tv , yeah !!
I’m aware of Pluto, it has got a point of difference to other subscription services where a lot of the channels are based on a particular TV show, so you could tune into the 24 hour The Amazing Race channel or the Sabrina the Teenage Witch channel, or whatever they plan on having. And there are a range of other channels as mentioned in the article. Having a point of difference is the main thing when there is already Netflix and other services.
TenPlay needs all the help it can get. Just put the content in that please.
