Google has integrated access to free channels from Tubi, Plex and Haystack News into the Live tab on Google TV.
The operator says its also launching “free built-in channels” that US consumers will be able to watch without the need to download or launch an app.
Over 800 channels will be available in total including news channels from NBC, ABC, CBS and FOX and international programming in more than 10 languages including Spanish, Hindi and Japanese.
A new TV guide will aggregate the channels and organise them by genre.
Premium subscriptions will also be available.
The new live TV experience will be available on all Google TV devices in the United States, including Chromecast with Google TV and TVs with Google TV built-in from Sony, TCL, Hisense and Philips. We also plan to bring the new TV guide and free channels to eligible Android TV devices later this year.
