Samsung TV Plus: A Free App Taking the TV Streaming World by Storm

Hey there, Nuked here! I’m back with some exciting news about Samsung’s free streaming app, TV Plus. Samsung may be in talks to bring its streaming app to TCL TVs, and it looks like they’re aiming to make the service a free-floating app.

Introduced in 2015, Samsung TV Plus is a free, ad-supported streaming (FAST) service that comes preinstalled on newer Samsung TVs. The service gives viewers a way to flip through a collection of channels, much like you would with a traditional TV service. Samsung TV Plus has a pretty strong slate of content for a free app, with popular shows like Top Gear, Law & Order Special Victims Unit, NCIS, and Chicago Fire all available.

TV Plus currently has around 1,600 channels split across 24 different countries, along with 220 channels in the US. It looks like Samsung wants to make its TV Plus service a free-floating app, but it’s unclear if other manufacturers will want the app on their TVs — or if it would even be successful.

Over the years, Samsung has been expanding the reach of TV Plus and made the service available on Galaxy devices, the web, and even on select Family Hub refrigerator models. Other TV manufacturers have free streaming apps of their own as well. Data from S&P Market Intelligence indicates that the FAST market in the US was expected to bring in about $4 billion in revenue last year.

Even YouTube has started testing a free ad-supported channel as a potential option for those who don’t want to pay the rising costs of streaming Netflix, Disney Plus, and Hulu. For me personally, I enjoy being able to flick through channels and eventually settle on what I want to watch rather than having to browse through hundreds of shows on Netflix or Hulu.
