ABC Commercial has launched four FAST channels on LG Smart TVs in a multi-territory agreement with LG Channels.

The channels are being rolled out through the LG Channels app in North America, Great Britain and selected markets in Asia, Europe and the Nordics.

In the United States, LG viewers will receive ABC Entertains and ABC Kids. In Canada, ABC Entertains, ABC Factual and ABC Kids are available. The UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Singapore will receive all four channels: ABC Entertains, ABC Everyday, ABC Factual and ABC Kids.

The launch expands ABC Commercial’s international activity in free ad-supported streaming, combining linear FAST streams with curated on-demand libraries.

Brian Lee, Sales Manager, Digital at ABC Commercial, said: “FAST is a significant and growing area of business for ABC Commercial. This launch on LG Channels encompasses a hybrid strategy that combines the best of linear FAST streams with curated on-demand libraries, giving viewers flexibility and choice in how they engage with ABC’s content.”

ABC Entertains will carry Australian drama and comedy, including Aftertaste and Upper Middle Bogan. ABC Everyday focuses on lifestyle and factual entertainment, with titles including Restoration Australia, Back Roads, Gardening Australia and Cheese Slices. ABC Factual includes documentaries such as New Leash on Life and AI vs Human: The Creativity Experiment, while ABC Kids features titles including Reef School and Create.

Sabina McNally, Content Acquisitions Senior Manager, LGEEH Europe WebOS Content & Services, said LG was “delighted to welcome ABC to LG Channels” as part of its effort to expand free entertainment on the platform.

The channels are available on LG Smart TVs running webOS. Amagi is supporting the distribution partnership.
