What Is Free Ad-Supported TV (FAST)?
Free Ad-Supported TV, or FAST, is a streaming model that delivers curated, channel-based programming over the internet — without a subscription fee. Instead of paying monthly like on-demand services, viewers watch for free while advertisers fund the platform through targeted ad placements. LiveTV runs on this model, giving you a real-time, cable-style lineup of global channels at no cost.
How LiveTV Delivers FAST Channels
A Lean-Back, Cable-Like Experience
LiveTV is built to feel familiar. Open a channel and it's already playing — no browsing through endless on-demand libraries, no algorithm deciding what's next. It's the same lean-back experience as flipping through cable, available on Connected TV devices, desktop browsers, and mobile.
Linear Schedule, Not On-Demand
Unlike Netflix-style platforms where you pick a title and watch whenever, FAST channels follow a fixed schedule — the same way broadcast TV always has. Tune in and you join the program already in progress, just like turning on a physical TV set. This is what separates LiveTV from a video-on-demand catalog.
Why LiveTV Is 100% Free
LiveTV doesn't charge viewers because it doesn't need to. Advertisers pay for placement instead, the same way commercial breaks have always funded broadcast TV — only now the ads can be targeted and measured per viewer session rather than blasted to everyone at once.
Targeted, Measurable Ad Placements
For advertisers, FAST inventory means reaching an engaged, already-tuned-in audience with placements that can be tracked for performance — closer to digital ad accountability than traditional TV buys. For viewers, that trade-off means zero subscription cost, no payment details required, and no hidden fees.
