Plex Brings on 16 New Channels Including Vevo Music, Italian Movies, More

Plex is up to its usual tricks in adding more free ad-supported TV (FAST) channels to its programming lineup. This time the additions have a decidedly international flair, as the service has rolled out channels featuring Italian cinema, as well as musical selections from around the world.

Plex serves as a platform for FAST channels, but also offers ad-supported video-on-demand with more than 50,000 titles. It’s free to use, but customers can upgrade to the Plex Pass for $4.99 per month which allows them to record live TV using an antenna, and much more. Both paid and non-paid subscribers can add all the other streamers they’re subscribed to on their Plex account and see what titles are available to stream on all their services in one place.

The new channels now available on Plex include:

  • Bizzarro Movies (Italian Language) Absurd, grotesque, crazy. Bizzarro Movies are non-ordinary worlds, sci-fi, monsters, and B-movies, which have gathered cult followings.
  • Cinema segreto (Italian language): Iconic, cult, cinema rediscovered. From Tomas Milian to Gloria Guida, from film noir to horror, dramatic films, tormented stories
  • Full moon (Italian language): Adrenaline-pumping thrillers, psychological horror, and goose bump-causing adventures. Lose yourself in the dark world of the Full Moon channel.
  • Risate all’italiana (Italian language): The made-in-Italy comedy channel: great classics, hilarious gags, paradoxical misadventures, and satires of today’s world.
  • WP (Italian language): Adventures, heroes, duels, characters of myth and legend, this channel offers stories that are still able to make entire generations dream.
  • Vevo Regional Mexicano: From mariachi to banda, videos and performances that define the genre.
  • Vevo Retro Rock: From the ’80s to today, guitar-driven videos that keep the volume turned up to 11.
  • Vevo True School Hip-Hop: Partner: Rap videos from Golden Era icons to today’s most influential MCs.
  • Vevo Íconos Latinos: Videos and performances from Latin music’s most legendary artists.

  • PFL MMA: Catch up on the greatest fights, highlights, and commentary from the Professional Fighters League MMA league.

There’s no slowing down for Plex from a standpoint of adding more channels. These 16 new choices follow closely after the addition of channels like Outersphere in early April, and the rollout of the Midnight Screening and “Nashville” channels in late march.

These channels can now be found more easily than ever before, thanks to Plex’s new arrangement with Google. Chromecast devices powered by Google TV now offer more than 800 FAST channels in their Live tab, with selections from Plex, Pluto TV, Tubi and more now available.

Plex

Plex offers a subscription tier that offers even more features for people who want more functionality, but it packs a powerful punch even in its free version.

The service offers 11 live local news channels, including outlets in Detroit, Atlanta, Memphis, Jacksonville, Tulsa, Boston, and Seattle.

Plex even offers a Plex Arcade option where you can play dozens of Atari classics plus your own collection of game ROMs and emulators on your favorite devices.
