DirecTV is expanding its offering of free, ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channels with the inclusion of content streams from Warner Bros Discovery (WBD), the company announced on Wednesday.
Starting this week, DirecTV customers who stream content using the DirecTV app or leased streaming DirecTV devices will be able to watch four new channels from WBD, the company said in a statement. The channels are also landing on MyFree DirecTV, the company’s subscription-free platform.
The channels landing on DirecTV’s streaming platform and MyFree DirecTV are:
- Mythbusters
- Say Yes to the Dress
- Beach Day
- Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern
In the coming weeks, DirecTV will add more channels from WBD to its streaming platforms, including:
- At the Movies
- Classic Cinema
- Crime Scenes
- Ghosts Are Real
- How To
- I (Almost) Got Away with It
- Living with Evil
- Love Kills
- Mysterious Worlds
- Primetime Soaps
- The Repair Shop
- Sweet Escapes
“This Warner Bros. Discovery portfolio is a great addition to our fast-growing MyFree DirecTV lineup, which continues to connect deeply devoted fans to a wide variety of their favorite programming at no cost,” Kent Rees, the General Manager at MyFree DirecTV, said in a statement on Wednesday.
MyFree DirecTV rolled out last November as DirecTV’s first subscription-free streaming platform. At launch, MyFree DirecTV offered 70 free channels of entertainment, lifestyle and news content; now, the number of free channels available through the service is over 110.
MyFree DirecTV channels are also available to DirecTV subscribers who watch live TV content through the DirecTV app for phones, tablets and smart TVs. That includes DirecTV customers who watch live channels through the Gemini set-top box and Gemini Air dongle.
