Philo is a handy live TV streaming service, one that comes with more options than it might seem at first glance. For $28 per month, the service delivers 18 of The Streamable’s top cable channels, but one of the hidden strengths of the service is the amount of free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channels viewers get alongside those cable networks. Philo is building that strength even more this week and has announced that it is welcoming 14 new FAST channels to its lineup.

Key Details:

• Cooking channels, networks dedicated to sports like tennis and pickleball, and more are now available on Philo.
• The channels are available to paid and free Philo customers.
• Philo now offers more than 100 FAST channels in total.

Philo’s new streaming channel selection features selections in numerous genres. Eleven of the 14 new networks are sourced from Warner Bros. Discovery, and include programming like true crime, baking shows, and even live sports options.

The new channels now available on Philo include:

• Crime Scenes: Shocking crime scenes, unsolved mysteries, and gripping investigations. Top shows include “Murder Chose Me,” “A Crime to Remember,” and “Murder Comes to Town.”

These selections will be available to all paid Philo subscribers, as well as viewers who watch only free streaming channels with the service.

Philo

Philo is a live TV streaming service designed for entertainment lovers, offering flexible ways to watch without the high price of traditional TV bundles. The service now features two paid plans — Essential and Bundle+ — alongside its existing free streaming offering, giving customers a range of options depending on how much live and premium content they want.

…

The Essential plan costs $25 per month and includes 70+ live TV channels focused on entertainment and lifestyle programming, such as AMC, HGTV, Hallmark Channel, Nickelodeon, and Food Network. Subscribers also get access to 120+ free streaming channels, more than 80,000 movies and shows on demand, and unlimited DVR with one-year storage. Essential also includes a 7-day free trial for new customers.

For viewers who want more premium content, Philo offers the Bundle+ plan for $33 per month (formerly the Philo Core plan). Bundle+ includes everything in Essential, plus ad-supported AMC+ and access to the HBO Max (Basic with Ads) app. Users can also access discovery+ content directly within the Philo app. While Bundle+ adds a full premium streaming bundle for just $8 more per month, it does not include a free trial.

The service is available on most major devices, including Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, smart TVs, mobile devices, and web browsers. In addition to its paid plans, Philo also offers a free ad-supported streaming experience, allowing users to explore content before deciding whether to upgrade to a live TV subscription.

While it doesn’t include local broadcast stations or sports networks like ESPN, FS1 or NBC Sports Network, Philo remains one of the most affordable live TV streaming options for entertainment-focused viewers. With a simple lineup, generous DVR storage, and a clear path from free streaming to live TV and premium bundles, Philo is an appealing choice for cord-cutters who want to keep costs down while still enjoying a wide range of popular programming.
