Let’s Talk About FAST!
Would you believe that it is possible to gather thousands of hours of content, create a guide, thumbnails, and fully program a 24/7 linear FAST channel in under 24 hours? Let’s talk about FAST!
In the traditional world, it used to take at least a week to get a fully produced show to spec, place in ad tapes, and have a delivery partner literally stitch actual tapes together. Most times the traffic departments at studios would stay up late, hoping that the carrier would arrive with the actual tapes on time. There were drop dead times that no ad agency met, excruciating deadlines in order for shows to run on time. Even after all of this, the delivery partner would have to transcode every show to each network partner's spec. It was a nightmare and waiting for the confirmation that everything was good to go on a Friday night was the absolute worst waiting game. When studios moved to satellite feeds, networks and advertisers were able to “beam” tapes and stitch shows together in the editing room without actual tape. Now with digital media and SaaS/streaming technologies, a programmer or network is able to insert ad markers through AI and fill ad pods programmatically by ad exchanges and insert advertisements on the fly.
It is natural that as media consumption shifted from traditional to digital, and as more people became jaded with subscription fees, Free Ad Supported TV quickly became a popular way for consuming media. It’s no different than Youtube really, but it is different in that it feels comfortable because of the cable-esque layout (with channel guides). What makes Free Ad Supported TV interesting for a content owner is how FAST it can actually be to hit a wider audience without the heavy lifting. FAST Channels TV has taken a unique approach by automated channel creation solutions in order to refresh content at scale. As a result, the complete suite of solutions for content creation, distribution and monetization can be deployed in under 24 hours, with monetization to begin immediately.
With our understanding from a publisher perspective coupled with technological advances, we understand the challenges of scheduling a channel and have incorporated that knowledge into a simple, low touch point solution for content owners of all sizes. The Pluto’s, Tubi’s and Xumo’s of the world are looking for content owners with over 500 hours for a fully branded channel—we at FAST Channels TV are searching for the content owners that have 50 hours or less as well. We can curate and group these content owners with existing partners and group various hours into other channels, again in under 24 hours! Gone are the days of tape and egregious wait times. HERE COMES FAST, FAST!
