A little over a month after NBCUniversal announced that it would soon be adding a slew of new free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channels to its various brands and platforms, it’s making good on its promise and “soon” is now.

The free Amazon streamer Freevee has added NBCU’s first 31 channels to its platform, including channels centered on reality and competition TV series such as “The Real Housewives” franchise and the long-running cooking competition “Top Chef,” Spanish-language entertainment from Telemundo and others, and classic TV, including “Saturday Night Live.” The channels also include 16 local NBC Universal-owned news stations, including Telemundo stations.

NBCUniversal announced in late June that the channels would first be coming to Freevee and Xumo Play, followed by its other brands, including NBC, Bravo, E!, NBC Sports, CNBC, Telemundo, Universal Studio Group, and more. The company has yet to announce when the FAST channels will be available on the other platforms.

The new launch across NBCUniversal’s brands looks to be a smaller part of a larger plan to expand its free ad-supported streaming options. The company discontinued its free streaming tier of Peacock earlier this year, but Peacock, which launched as an ad-supported service, is already one of the top three streamers in terms of subscribers on ad-supported plans.

Freevee is expected to add nearly 50 total FAST channels to its slate. Neither the service nor its parent company has announced when the remaining channels will be available, but the list will include more options for classic TV lovers, movie buffs, and sports fans. Among the future slate will be an “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” channel with episodes of the bone-chilling mystery series, hosted by the legendary and controversial director himself; Universal Monsters and Universal Westerns channels offering the best in classic horror films and westerns; and an NBC Sports channel with the best in sports talk from shows like “Premier League Stories” and “The Dan Patrick Show.”

Freevee

Freevee video streaming service was Amazon’s free, ad-supported streaming service offering a mix of movies, TV shows, live FAST channels, and original programming. Originally launched as IMDb TV before rebranding to Amazon Freevee in 2022, the service featured licensed library content alongside exclusives such as “Jury Duty,” “Bosch: Legacy,” and “Judy Justice.” Its lineup spanned drama, comedy, reality, true crime, and family programming, along with curated live channels covering news, sports highlights, and classic TV.

…

In 2024, Amazon began phasing out the Freevee brand and integrating its content directly into Prime Video. Rather than operating as a standalone app, Freevee’s free, ad-supported programming is now available within the Prime Video platform under dedicated free sections. Viewers do not need a Prime membership to access this content, though ads are included. The service shut down fully in September 2025.

Freevee programming can be streamed on smart TVs, Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, gaming consoles, mobile devices, and web browsers through the Prime Video app. With its transition to Prime Video, the service’s free library continues to offer a wide range of on-demand and live streaming options for viewers looking to watch without a subscription.

With its blend of recognizable library titles, original series, and live channels, Freevee helped establish Amazon as a major player in the FAST space before being folded into the broader Prime Video experience.
