- Amazon has announced Fire TV Channels for Fire TV devices.
- This is a free, ad-supported TV service that combines FreeVee with new content.
Amazon is no stranger to the free, ad-supported TV (FAST) space, offering its FreeVee service for several years now. Nevertheless, the company has now announced a new foray into this segment, dubbed Fire TV Channels.
Amazon announced Fire TV Channels at the NewFronts event (h/t: TechCrunch), and this essentially combines existing and all-new FAST content into a new experience on Fire TV devices. This new experience will be available via the home screen, in the Free tab, and in more areas. Check out a screenshot below for an idea of what to expect.
