In a new deal with ITV Studios’ Zoo 55, Samsung TV Plus has added The Chase FAST channel to its U.K. lineup.
The channel brings more than 150 hours of the quiz show, hosted by Bradley Walsh, to Samsung TV Plus audiences in the U.K. It is the latest Zoo 55 channel to join Samsung TV Plus, following last month’s addition of The Voice Global. VICE and VICE: Dark Side Of will launch in the U.K., and River Monsters will arrive in France. Other FAST channels from the company on the platform include The Graham Norton Show, Hell’s Kitchen, and Come Dine With Me.
Chris Gregory, head of content development at Samsung TV Plus EMEA, said, “Game shows are one of the most natural fits for FAST—they’re easy to dip into, and bring families together around the TV. Following the expansion of our partnership with Zoo 55 in October, we’re delighted to bring a dedicated The Chase channel to Samsung TV Plus viewers in the U.K. It’s a fantastic addition to our growing game show lineup and another example of how our partnership with ITV Studios brings much-loved entertainment to audiences in new ways.”
Jane Dribinskaya, VP for FAST and DTC at Zoo 55, added, “Expanding our collaboration with Samsung TV Plus is the perfect way to feed the fandoms around our iconic game shows, and also introduce them to new viewers across the U.K. We are thrilled to launch The Chase FAST channel on Samsung TV Plus, a move that supercharges our digital strategy and ensures our most beloved entertainment brands are front and center in the CTV space.”
Other game show channels on Samsung TV Plus include The Cube, Pointless UK, Tipping Point, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and Family Feud.
