Samsung TV Plus now offers access to nearly 700 FAST channels in the U.S. According to Samsung, this now means its streaming service is home to more free, ad-supported channels than any other major FAST platform in the United States, including The Roku Channel, Tubi and Pluto TV.
Although most of these FAST platforms offer very similar themed channel lineups, Samsung also notes how its collection includes more than 100 exclusive channels, making it a good option for those looking for content they might not find on other free streaming services.
The selection also covers a wide variety of content in general, including movies, shows, live sports, music, kids, Spanish-language, and K-Content. This is all in addition to local news coverage in 114 DMAs.
While the number of channels available in the U.S. is impressive in its own right, when looking at the global reach of Samsung’s free streaming service, the company says Samsung TV Plus now provides access to more than 3,500 channels across 30 countries.
“With Samsung TV Plus, we’ve transformed what streaming can be by offering premium, personalized entertainment at a scale no other FAST service can match,” said Salek Brodsky, Senior Vice President and General Manager at Samsung TV Plus.
Naturally, this isn’t the final form of Samsung TV Plus either, with the company confirming its plans to continue expanding the FAST service in the future.
“This year, we’re deepening that commitment by delivering even more high-quality content, richer viewing experiences, and greater variety of programming to ensure audiences always have something exceptional to watch,” said Brodsky.
In spite of its continued growth and expansion, one decrease we have noticed recently is in terms of device support, as it is no longer possible to stream any of the FAST content through the Samsung TV Plus website.
As a result, those interested in checking out what Samsung’s free streaming service has to offer will need access to one of the other supported devices.
