Swerve TV has launched a FAST channel built around podcaster Scott Galloway, with the service available across The Roku Channel, Prime Video, Plex, Zeam, and Fawesome, with additional platforms to come.

TV5MONDE's FAST channels are now available in more than 275,000 hotel rooms in North America via an agreement with SONIFI.

FAST is now a fixture of the U.S. media ecosystem, "not a fallback," Hub Entertainment Research says in its latest report, which also calls creator content the "next conversion engine."

Canadian public broadcaster CBC is upping its documentary spend by C$7 million and is rolling out a new FAST channel this fall to replace the specialty service documentary Channel, which is ceasing operations at the end of August.
