Bell announces new FAST channels coming to Plex and Roku


Bell Media announced Thursday it has struck a deal with more distributors of its 10 new free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channels it launched in April on LG channels.

The new channels, which include a variety of content including news, lifestyle and comedies, will be featured this year on Plex and the Roku Channel. Bell had already announced that the channels will be on Samsung TV plus.

“Our FAST portfolio have received a great response on LG Channels, with three channels already in the Top 10,” Bell Media President Sean Cohan said in a press release. “This success illustrates the demand for our compelling content and further solidifies our goal of delivering our content to audiences where they want it.”

The distribution agreements also expand the reach of Bell’s advertising partners, it said in the release.
