DistroTV Adds 120 New Channels; Expands International Content Offerings

Just as the premium, subscription side of the streaming wars continues to heat up, so does the free, ad-supported TV (FAST) side. On Tuesday, DistroTV announced the massive addition of 120 new channels, including a host of multicultural and international programming options to its free streaming slate.

The nation’s largest FAST platform announced that it was expanding its content offerings across its news, general entertainment, sports, and lifestyle channels, including adding new channels that focus on Southeast Asian, Indian, African, and Spanish-speaking audiences. The additions bring DistroTV’s library to more than 270 channels.

“The FAST market is on an incredible and steep upward growth trajectory, with even paid streaming platforms now understanding that if they do not embrace and ride this wave, they’ll get left behind,” DistroScale co-founder and CEO Navdeep Saini said. “At DistroTV, we’ve long been on a mission to break down barriers to entry and provide free TV for global audiences who want and deserve access to free, engaging programming across a range of cultures and languages. If our growth figures are any indication, we’re well on our way to accomplishing our goals, and we have no plans of slowing down.”

DistroTV is available in more than 60 markets via apps on streaming devices and smart TVs, as well as at distro.tv and hopes that the company’s global expansion will empower media companies to “break down content barriers and bring diverse and independent content” to viewers around the world.
