In a bid to squeeze alongside the Netflixes and Disney Pluses of the world, local TV company Fetch has launched a new low-cost ‘Access’ plan for $3.99 per month.
Fetch Access — which requires the brand’s hardware, like the Fetch Mini G5 — includes more than 30 free-to-air channels streamed via the internet, over 25 additional specialist channels, and a rotating library of 30 movies to watch each month. On top of that, the subscription includes more than 30 games, like Pac-Man, Tetris, and Doodle Jump.
In announcing its cheaper subscription service, Fetch referenced a recent Deloitte report that found Australians pay an average of $78 per month on media subscriptions. That’s up $15 from 2024, with Fetch’s new service aiming to fit within already-stretched household budgets.
Of the 30 movies included with Fetch Access at launch, there’s a mix of classics and mainstream flicks. The Godfather trilogy is there, alongside multiple Spider-Man movies, and the appropriately festive Elf. Interestingly, the streaming resolution varies between movies; The Godfather is listed as being in 4K, while the more recent A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood is only in HD.
Alongside the collection of free-to-air channels — like ABC, SBS, Seven, Nine, and Ten — Fetch’s specialist channels are an eclectic bunch. Bundled with the Fetch Access package are channels dedicated to Bondi Vet, Mythbusters, and Hell’s Kitchen, among other niche shows.
Separate from Access, Fetch still sells several other premium channel packages in addition to standalone streaming apps like Netflix. Earlier in the year, Fetch re-committed to a partnership with ESPN to continue airing sports content as part of its $7.99 monthly Vibe Pack.
It also sells channel packages focusing on dramas and documentaries, plus a $24.99 monthly Ultimate Pack that combines all of Fetch’s premium channels into one subscription.
