Today, Amazon Freevee announced MGM and Warner Bros. Discovery free, ad-supported (FAST) Channels will launch on the ad-supported streaming service over the next few months. These new channels will add to the growing slate of over 280 FAST channels currently available on the service, spanning genres that include Originals, popular movies, food, game shows, classic TV, reality, news, and sports. All channels can be accessed through the Freevee app, as well as within Fire TV and Prime Video.
“FAST Channels offer Freevee viewers an always-on, 24/7, lean-back viewing experience that immediately connects them to a selection of TV shows, movies, and unscripted programming such as news, sports, and music,” said Ryan Pirozzi, head of Amazon Freevee. “MGM and Warner Bros. Discovery create content that appeals to a diverse fan base – action, comedy, drama, scripted, unscripted, and more. We are incredibly excited Freevee customers will have even more choice when it comes to what they can watch, whenever and however they choose.”
