German media company RTL Deutschland has launched eight FAST Channels on its streaming platform RTL+.
The free, ad-financed channels, which focus on individual TV series or programme genres, can be received within the RTL+ smartphone/tablet app and on the web at https://plus.rtl.de/video-tv/live-tv.
The line-up includes the channels “Shopping Queen”, “Bauer sucht Frau” (the German adaption of Farmer Wants a Wife), “RTL Comedy”, “Alles was zählt Classics”, “RTL Haus & Garten”, “hundkatzemaus – Das Haustiermagazin”, the ‘Best of RTL’ channel “RTL Shine” and a channel shared by the action series “Alarm für Cobra 11” and “Balko”.
As a next step, the FAST Channels will also be offered on the RTL+ smart TV apps, an RTL spokesperson told German industry publication DWDL, confirming that further FAST Channels will be added if the offer is successful with viewers.
