Roku and Tubi will team with Warner Bros. Discovery on new free ad-supported streaming channels.
These new so-called FAST channels will feature programming that was recently dropped from HBO Max, including "Westworld," "The Nevers," "Raised by Wolves," and "FBoy Island."
- In November, WB Discovery CEO David Zaslav told investors he was planning to introduce a FAST offering in 2023.
- The Roku WBD channels will launch in the spring of 2023 with 2,000 hours of on-demand content, including programming from HBO, HBO Max, Discovery, HGTV, Food Network, TLC, Warner Bros. Pictures, and Warner Bros. TV.
- Tubi announced 14 total WB-branded TV channels that will also have around 2,000 hours of content across them; these will include three new curated "WB TV" options along with selections organized by genre.
