Entertainment giant Fremantle is bringing seven of its free, ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channels to DirecTV’s new FAST service MyFree DirecTV, the company announced this week.
Starting Monday, MyFree DirecTV users will be able to access the seven FAST channels from Fremantle via the DirecTV app for phones, tablets and smart TVs — no subscription or credit card needed.
The seven FAST channels being added to MyFree DirecTV are:
- Buzzr (classic game shows)
- The Jamie Oliver Channel
- Let’s Make a Deal
- The Price is Right: Bob Barker
- The Price is Right: Drew Carey
- RIG TV
- Supermarket Sweep
Fremantle says the addition of seven FAST channels marks the beginning of a robust relationship with DirecTV, which will see more channels and streaming content added to the service over time.
“This new collaboration with DirecTV underscores Fremantle’s commitment to expanding their reach across new digital platforms in the ever-evolving streaming landscape,” Trey Durst, the VP of U.S. Distribution at Fremantle, said in a statement. “We’re thrilled to be at the forefront of the launch of DireTV’s new service with our incredible array of programming.”
MyFree DirecTV launched earlier this month with a curated library of 70 FAST channels, available through the same DirecTV app for phones, tablets and smart TVs as its pay TV service. MyFree DirecTV’s FAST channels are also available to DirecTV via Satellite customers with Internet-connected set-top boxes like the Gemini line-up of devices, and to customers of DirecTV via Internet and DirecTV Stream.
