Static Waves Expands Reach into the U.S. & Canada

The Amsterdam-based media company Static Waves has opened a North American office in Los Angeles and expanded into the U.S. and Canadian streaming markets with several FAST channel launches.

Static Waves has partnered with PopSho, a content company with over 4,000 hours of classic films and series, to create various FAST channels, including those dedicated to kung-fu movies, cowboy classics and remastered famous cartoons.

Static Waves has also teamed up with the AI-powered techology provider Anoki to launch the K-pop FAST channel K-Wave on Google’s Live TV^X,, a new FAST platform available to smart-TV OEMs using Android/Google OS in the U.S., and FREECAST.

FREECAST has also launched EarthDay365, a nature and environment-focused channel from actress and activist Pamela Anderson and K2 Studios.

In addition, Canada’s River TV streaming platform has picked up EarthDay 365, K-Wave and the Web3-focused myco TV.

“North America is undoubtedly the leader in FAST channel platforms and viewer engagement,” said Bob Gold, senior VP of media partnerships for North America at Static Waves. “Distribution here continues to be a priority, and we are fortunate to have established relationships with some of the leading platforms. With our channel partners for K-Wave, EarthDay 365, myco TV and soon for PopSho, we have a very compelling offering that promises to boost viewing time and engagement on these platforms, which is the key challenge in the FAST channel space.”
