Vidgo is an American streaming television service that offers over 100 channels of English- and Spanish-language sports, news and general entertainment content. In addition to its live television packages, Vidgo offers a cloud-based digital video recorder and thousands of hours of on-demand programming.
Vidgo launched in 2018
In 2022, the company hired a new executive leadership team[4][5] and revamped its mission to provide entertainment, news and sports of interest[6] to the heartland of the United States.[7] It also relaunched its streaming app with a new color palette, logo and other interface improvements.[8]
In April 2023, Vidgo quietly raised the prices of two English-language packages.[9] The price puts Vidgo on the same footing as YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV and Fubo TV.
