Sling Freestream has expanded its selection of Asian entertainment and sports content thanks to a new distribution deal with ODK Media. The agreement has resulted in six new FAST channels being added to the free streaming service.
Key Takeaways
- Sling Freestream has added six new free-to-watch FAST channels focused on Asian entertainment and sports through a distribution deal with ODK Media.
- The new channels include Asian films and dramas, Korean web dramas, English-dubbed Korean professional baseball, and three Vietnamese genre-specific channels targeting Vietnamese Americans.
- According to ODK Media, the expansion reflects the growing mainstream demand for Asian content in the U.S.
- While Sling Freestream already offers access to a very wide selection of FAST channels, the new additions are specifically designed to meet the increasing demand for Asian content in the U.S.
“As a trusted hub for Asian content for over 14 years, we’ve witnessed firsthand the explosive growth in demand for Asian entertainment,” said Olam Lee, SVP of Monetization and Marketing at ODK Media. “What was once considered niche is now undeniably mainstream—Korean content, in particular, has become a genre of its own. Our relationship with Sling meets this growing appetite by bringing premium Asian content to a broader U.S. audience that is culturally curious and globally minded.”
The new channels now available on Sling Freestream include:
- Amasian TV Movies & More – ODK Media’s flagship channel showcasing a curated lineup of trending Asian films and dramas, spotlighting top talent and fresh stories.
- Taste & Tales – Discover the best of K-Web dramas! From viral campus romances to addictive slice-of-life series, enjoy Korea’s hottest short-form originals—short, sweet, seriously addictive, and streaming 24/7.
- K-Baseball – An English-dubbed live channel featuring Korea’s top professional baseball league, bringing the thrill of K-sports to new audiences. This was achieved through collaboration with LG Uplus, which is responsible for global FAST distribution, real-time delivery, and localization. LG Uplus is currently delivering KBO games in real time with dubbing to global FAST platforms through a strategic partnership with GAD Sports, the global rights holder for KBO games.
- Three Vietnamese Genre-Centric Channels – Powered by fresh content from DatVietVAC, Vietnam’s largest media and entertainment group, these channels serve approximately 2.3 million Vietnamese Americans and culturally adventurous Asian content lovers across the U.S.
