We know that Fetch subscribers will be thrilled with the addition.
“Fetch maintains an advanced in-house development capability, and we are exceptionally proud with the speed we have been able to complete the integration using the new Disney Application Development Kit.”
The Walt Disney Company in Australia and New Zealand senior vice president and managing director, Kylie Watson-Wheeler, added: “We’re excited Disney+ is now available on Fetch TV, with our world’s-best content and entertainment added to the platform.
Fetch continues to make great strides as an aggregator platform, and its willingness to embrace innovation and our long-standing partnership underpin this expanded offering.
