Google TV's free ad-supported TV (FAST) service continues to expand, with the recent addition of 10 new channels for US viewers. These new channels are part of Google TV's June 2024 update, further enhancing the viewing experience for users.
New Channels Added
The latest channels were discovered by StreamingBetter and complement the eight channels introduced in March. The new channels, including FilmRise Western, ION+, Johnny Carson TV, and more, are now accessible under the "live" section of the Google TV interface.
Google TV Network and Advertising
Google is heavily investing in its FAST service, recognizing the rapid growth of this market segment. The company recently launched the Google TV Network, an advertising platform designed to provide brands with opportunities to reach audiences across various devices and platforms, including Google TV, Android devices, and Chromecast. 
This move allows brands to leverage unskippable ad placements before, during, and after shows on the free channels, enhancing their visibility and engagement with viewers.
Increasing Popularity of FAST
The popularity of FAST services like Google TV is on the rise, driven by consumer preferences for free, ad-supported content. With the option to watch shows without committing to yet another subscription, many viewers are opting for platforms that offer a mix of entertainment and advertising.
As Google continues to expand its channel offerings, such as through partnerships with manufacturers like Sony, Hisense, and TCL, the appeal of its FAST service grows stronger, catering to a diverse range of viewers.
Enhancing Entertainment Options
With the launch of high-end TV sets like the Sony Bravia 9 and the TCL QM851G, the addition of free streaming channels on Google TV provides users with more entertainment choices without additional costs.
Users can easily access Google TV on a variety of devices, including the Chromecast with Google TV, enhancing their viewing experience and making entertainment more accessible.
