August 29, 2025 18.58 Europe/London By Robert Briel

German digital news agency spot on news GmbH has announced a new collaboration with FAST Channels TV to launch a FAST channel, bringing its signature entertainment and lifestyle coverage to audiences around the world.

The new channel will feature a curated mix of celebrity news, cinema updates, music highlights, TV and streaming coverage, and viral social media stories, offering viewers timely and engaging content in short-form video clips. The move marks spot on news’s first foray into global streaming, expanding its reach beyond traditional media partnerships.

“We are delighted to welcome spot on news GmbH to our roster of channels,” said Russell Foy, CEO of FAST Channels TV. “This partnership underscores our commitment to delivering diverse and compelling content to viewers across platforms.”

FAST Channels TV currently supports over 80 content owners with white-label technology and playout services, enabling rapid deployment and monetization of FAST channels. The addition of spot on news strengthens its portfolio with a distinctly European voice in entertainment journalism.

Tobias Lobe, CEO of spot on news GmbH, praised the collaboration: “Russell and the FAST Channels TV team have been instrumental in bringing our vision to life. With our extensive catalog of news and entertainment content, we’re excited to offer a fresh and accessible viewing experience.”

Founded in Munich, spot on news GmbH employs a team of 45 journalists and editors who produce content 24/7 for leading media outlets. The agency’s expertise spans decades and includes contributions to publications such as Bunte, Stern, Focus, Gala, and n-tv. Its output includes articles, image galleries, and video segments tailored for digital platforms.
