The channel cuts will affect subscribers to the Lifestyle, Docos, Drama, and Pop packages primarily, though all Foxtel Play subscribers will lose channels from the core set included with every selection, including CNN, BBC World News, Foxtel Arts, and MTV Music.

No channels will be cut from either the Movies or Sport packages.

While BoxSets and Binge are both to be removed from Foxtel Play, programs from these channels may still be available via on-demand streaming depending on your package.

All discontinued Foxtel Play channels will still be available through Foxtel's broadcast service.
