ViacomCBS Networks International is bringing Pluto TV to France, making it the first FAST (free ad-supported television) service to debut in the country.

Starting February 8, Pluto TV will be available on all major streaming devices (TV, smartphone, tablet, PC) via the Pluto TV browser at pluto.tv, via app on Apple TV, Android TV, Amazon Fire TV and the iOS and Android apps available on the Apple Store and Google Play.

Its library will include content from both ViacomCBS brands and third parties through partnerships with a large number of leading international and French publishers, broadcasters and distributors. The cost-free service, with ease of access and no registration required, will allow French users to stream 40 specially curated and original channels.
