FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV)

Free linear-style streaming channels monetized through advertising, delivered via CTV apps.

FAST channels simulate traditional linear TV as free ad-supported streaming — viewers tune into a programmed schedule rather than on-demand selection. Pluto TV, Samsung TV Plus, and LG Channels are major FAST platforms. FAST inventory is predominantly monetized through SSAI-delivered ad pods with programmatic OpenRTB demand.
