FOX One and Tubi Add Popular True Crime Podcast as Video Lineup Expands

Don't let content expansion fool you into thinking you need another subscription. The addition of exclusive, popular true-crime content to platforms like FOX One and Tubi is great for viewers, but for us budget-savers, it just means more free content options are available—and that's a win. It confirms that ad-supported streaming (AVOD) services are aggressively building their libraries to keep people off expensive, premium services.

This is a perfect time to maximize the value of the free tiers you already use. Instead of letting these services become "dumping grounds" for content, treat them as curated, interest-specific hubs. If you are a true-crime fan, you can likely get hours of high-quality, popular content for $0, which is significantly cheaper than subscribing to a niche cable channel or a dedicated premium service.

Our advice remains the same: Stick to the "Subscription Rotation" method. If you find yourself logging into FOX One, Tubi, and another service just to watch a specific genre, pause and ask yourself if that content could be satisfied by one service or a clever bundle. Take advantage of these ad-supported additions to fill the gaps in your entertainment without adding a single dollar to your monthly bill.
