Overview
Pluto TV, a free ad-supported streaming service, has expanded its deal with Fremantle Media to distribute up to 25 of Fremantle's free ad-supported TV (FAST) channels in 13 countries, including the United States. The new channels will offer viewers a seamless streaming experience, allowing them to sit back and enjoy a catalog of content without having to worry about choosing which specific episodes to watch. The majority of the channels are single-show, allowing audiences to always know what's on when they're browsing.
Key Details:
- The U.S., Canada, Germany, Switzerland, and other countries will get access to 24 of Fremantle's most popular FAST channels.
- Pluto customers in the United Kingdom will get the new “Escape to the Country” channel that will only be available there.
- Among the new FAST channels debuting on Pluto in these territories are: Baywatch, Supermarket Sweep, Family Feud Classic, Let's Make a Deal, The Price is Right: Bob Barker, The Price is Right: Drew Carey, Alarm Fur Cobra, Project Runway, Prisoner and Jamie Oliver.
The new deal will also see the Three's Company channel become available outside the United States for the first time, starting with a launch in Canada this summer. Pluto TV carries a wide variety of channels overall, including news selections and even sports content.
Pluto TV's state-of-the-art platform provides a seamless streaming experience for viewers and makes it the perfect home for Fremantle's channels. According to Katrina Kowalski, SVP of International Content for Pluto, “Pluto TV's mission to offer lean-back entertainment for fans around the world harnesses the spirit of content like Escape to the Country and Three's Company, which are perfect for people to gather to watch from the comfort of their living rooms.”
Fremantle SVP Laura Florence said, “We are thrilled to be expanding our partnership with Pluto TV globally, extending Fremantle's treasured IP to many new territories. This is the next stage of our valued partnership with Pluto TV, as we continue to evolve our FAST strategy and content delivery for our global audience.”
The new FAST channels rolling out on Pluto TV are coming to 13 countries total: Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, Italy, San Marino, Demark, Norway, Finland, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Twenty-four of the channels will premiere in each of these countries, while the all-new Escape to the Country channel is only available in the U.K. as of now, where the series “Escape to the Country” first originated.
The expansion of the partnership with Fremantle Media will allow Pluto TV to attract new eyes by offering a greater variety of content beyond its already impressive selection of movies. The platform's new channels, featuring highly popular lean-back shows, could be an attempt to diversify its audience.
Viewers can head to the platform now to find the new FAST channels available in their region, and as always there's no credit card required to sign up.
