Amazon Fire Stick and Roku users can access thousands of movies and TV shows for free with 25 live channels. It's all about consuming your preferred content.
With viewers looking to cut spending from streaming, the free ad-supported TV (FAST) channels are slowly being added to other streaming subscriptions. One of them is Fawesome that will allow you to access over 100,000 TV shows and movies for free.
Even major players in the industry are embracing this trend. Fremantle, the company behind hit shows like Britain's Got Talent and The X Factor, is expanding its free content offering on Pluto TV.

Pluto TV already offers a vast array of streamed TV channels worldwide, featuring well-known content like South Park and CSI. Users can access these channels instantly without the need to sign up.
Besides Fire Sticks and Roku devices, the service is also available on Samsung and LG smart TVs, PlayStation, Xbox, and even some set-top boxes like Virgin Media in the UK. Additionally, viewers can watch directly on their laptops via web browsers without installing anything.
New Channels and Content for UK Viewers
In the UK, the latest expansion will include a dedicated channel for Escape to the Country. This popular property-buying show, which follows families seeking the perfect home in the British countryside, has been a staple on the BBC since 2002.
Other new live channels that you can access for free include:
- Three's Company
- Baywatch
- Supermarket Sweep
- Family Feud Classic
- Let's Make a Deal
- The Price is Right: Bob Barker
- The Price is Right: Drew Carey
- Alarm Fur Cobra
- Project Runway
- Prisoner
- Jamie Oliver
- Country-Specific Offerings
According to The Sun, the availability of these channels will vary by country. For instance, Baywatch is already available in the UK but will soon be accessible in Spain, Italy, and the Nordics.
A channel dedicated to the classic US sitcom Three's Company will launch outside the US for the first time, starting with Canada later this summer. "Three's Company," which originally aired from 1977 to 1984, is based on the UK show Man About the House.
With the launch of these new channels, viewers can enjoy a wider range of free entertainment on their favorite streaming devices.
This expansion of free ad-supported TV channels represents a significant shift in how audiences consume content, offering high-quality shows without the burden of subscription fees.
Whether you're a fan of classic sitcoms, reality TV, or property shows, there's something for everyone in this exciting new lineup.
For Amazon Fire TV Stick users, check Free Movies+ especially if you're a fan of movies. You can access more of them in this app at no extra charge.
