Google TV is expanding its content offer by adding new free TV channels with advertising.
With the addition of providers like Tubi, Plex, and Haystack News, Google TV now has over 800 free channels.
This shift turns streaming into a cable TV-like experience, proving that live TV streaming has become cable TV sent down a different tube.
FAST channels, which are an advertising-supported linear streaming content industry, have been embraced by competitors like Roku.
FAST channels transform streaming into a cable-like experience where content is broadcast at specific times like traditional television.
This addition will make browsing ad-supported live TV channels a core part of Google TV.
Additionally, it will include news content from NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox and international programming in more than 10 languages, including Spanish, Japanese, and Hindi.
