FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV) channels are digital streaming services that offer a wide range of video content to viewers at no cost, supported by advertisements. Unlike Subscription Video on Demand (SVOD) platforms that charge users a subscription fee for ad-free content, FAST channels provide a curated selection of movies, TV shows, live events, news, and other programming without requiring payment from users.

FAST channels generate revenue through advertising, displaying commercials during content playback to monetize the viewing experience. These ads may be targeted based on user demographics, interests, or behavior to enhance relevance and engagement.
