FAST channels are today’s fastest growing connected TV video platforms. They extend the reach of traditional linear TV channels (e.g. cable) to connected devices, like CTVs, tablets or laptops. However, unlike traditional subscription-based TV, FAST channels are supported by dynamically inserted ads.

The most popular services offering FAST channels are Pluto TV (offered by ViacomCBS), Xumo (offered by NBCU), Tubi (offered by Fox), Peacock (offered by NBCU), The Roku Channel (offered by RokuTM), IMDbTV (offered by Amazon) and Samsung TV+ (offered by Samsung).

Looking at the companies involved, it seems to include many of the big streamers. As I understand it, many of the platforms are, at the moment, looking at what works and what doesn't. Content that doesn't work can be culled very quickly. In the meantime, sure, thrilling, modern, content such as the Beverly Hillbillies will be thrown in.
