NBCU Launching More FAST Channels

NBCUniversal has revealed a slew of new FAST content offerings coming to Pluto TV, including reality programming from the Real Housewives franchise and library series such as Little House on the Prairie.

Starting today and rolling out through the month, new offerings include past seasons of popular reality series such as The Real Housewives and Top Chef, which will be available to stream through dedicated FAST channels. There’s also a dedicated Bad Girls Club channel.

Sports fans will have access to GolfPass and NBC Sports.

The American Crimes channel features series such as American Greed and Lockup.

Pluto TV subscribers will also have access to dedicated FAST channels featuring library shows such as Little House on the Prairie; The Lone Ranger; and Murder, She Wrote.

There are films on Universal Monsters, as well as genre-based action (Universal Action) and crime content (Universal Crime).

These channels join Pluto’s lineup of already available FAST channels from the NBCUniversal portfolio, including NBC News NOW, TODAY All Day, Dateline 24/7 and Sky News International.

NBC and Telemundo local FAST channels will also launch on Pluto TV later this year.

“NBCUniversal and Pluto TV’s FAST partnership offers a powerful opportunity to distribute our vast portfolio of premium content to new audiences,” said Amy Geary, senior VP of NBCUniversal Content Distribution. “These channels will deliver quality programming from some of the most notable brands in television and create value for our distributors and advertisers.”
