FAST
FAST (free, ad-supported television) has quickly become one of the fastest growing areas of streaming. The one common factor with all FAST services and programming is the reliance on ads to generate revenue. Although FAST offers a similar experience to traditional linear television, FAST channels tend to be themed on genres and popular franchises.
