Budget-mindful streaming television service Frndly TV is adding two more channels to its line-up of more than 50 linear TV networks.

Starting this week, subscribers can watch and record shows and movies from the E. W. Scripps Company’s Ion Plus, the company affirmed in a statement. Frndly TV already offered other Scripps-owned channels like Ion, Court TV, Bounce, Grit, Ion Mystery, Grit and Laff.



In the coming weeks, Frndly TV will also add Craftsy TV to its roster, with shows that help viewers tap into their creative side by adding and enhancing their arts and crafts skills.

The channels join a line-up of general entertainment, lifestyle and knowledge networks from A+E Networks (A&E, History Channel, Lifetime, Vice TV), Great American Media (Great American Family, Great American Faith & Living), Allen Media (The Weather Channel, Justice Central), Weigel Broadcasting (Heroes & Icons, Start TV, MeTV, MeTV Plus, MeTV Toons, Dabl, Movies!) and others.
