Plex, Inc.

FAST meets football! 🏈 ⚡️ Plex, Inc. has announced a partnership with the National Football League (NFL) that will add the NFL's 24/7 free linear FAST channel to the Plex streaming platform. This channel joins Plex's 600+ free-to-stream live TV channels in the U.S which are accessible over iOS and Android phones and tablets, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Google TV, and more. Is FAST the answer to the expensive sports streaming costs for the viewer? Or does its ad-supported nature mean that it's only possible to use FAST for sports that include regular intervals? ☕️

Will you be joining us in Denver? 👇

Happy to welcome the National Football League (NFL) to the Plex family! 🏈 #streamingmedia #football

Plex has reached a milestone: we now have over 1000 FAST channels! Tune into movies; local, national and international news; general entertainment series; lifestyle programs; sports; documentaries and music, all for free. https://lnkd.in/ecYCPDAS

📺 Recent rise in FAST services takes us full circle back to linear, passive and ad-supported channels. FAST channels are increasing in volume and consumer preference on platforms where they are available. 2020 is when FAST really took off and the trajectory since then has been astounding! Our friends at Plex, Inc. looked at their data and found the following: - FAST content consumed was just 6% of the total in 2020, versus 30% of all Plex content in 2022. - More than a billion minutes watched since January 1 of this year—the rough equivalent of 2,500 years of content if consecutively watched. 🤯 Consumer viewing habits have continued to evolve as streaming options and models advance. With the rise of FAST, consumers are getting free content (via ad exposure), content providers are getting new revenue channels and platforms are getting more content to engage users. #backtofast #fastisbest #safestreaming #fastchannels #adsupported #freemium #adbreaksaresnackbreaks

Our CEO Keith Valory is in Forbes today, discussing how, in a world of personal devices and fractured streaming, to bring the social aspect back to watching television. Thanks to Mike Proulx for the enlightening quote: “Although the television industry is undergoing a grandiose state of flux, it is also in the midst of one of its most exciting time periods; the outcome of which will only make TV more compelling, more interactive, and more accessible. And while the way in which we experience television continues to evolve, the medium is here to stay. The rise of a new medium does not always mean the end to another.”

Thanks to Gavin Bridge for hosting a great panel on #FAST Myths at The TV of Tomorrow Show and to Plex's fearless marketing leader Scott Hancock for sharing his knowledge. Solid show and lineup. We look forward to 2025!
