Tubi has expanded its linear FAST Channel offering to now feature over 200 live sports, entertainment and local and national news channels.
Newly added channels over the last month include local Scripps news stations and entertainment channels from Lionsgate, FilmRise, and Cinedigm, among others.
The milestone comes on the heels of its recently launched Exclusive FIFA World Cup Linear FAST Channel that joins other popular channels including Gordon Ramsey, Ion, The Masked Singer, Vice, TMZ, Game Show Central and Tubi Originals.
With the recently added Scripps channels, News on Tubi now features over 100 local station feeds across nearly 60 DMAs.
Commenting on the development, Adam Lewinson, chief content officer, Tubi, said: “In just two short years, our FAST Channel offering has evolved into a robust and popular pipeline of viewing options across news, sports, and entertainment.
“We’re excited to continue delivering a best-in-class streaming experience that combines our massive on-demand library with a large ‘lean-back’ curation of linear channels”.
