NEWS BRIEF: UK broadcaster Narrative Entertainment is expanding into the free, ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) sector with the launch of Pop Kids, Great! Movies and Great! Christmas channels on Samsung TV Plus.

The new, live channels extend the offering of the Great! and Pop networks to new platforms and audiences and are “our first tranche of FAST channels,” said Narrative MD Will Vicary. The channels join Narrative’s existing linear channels Pop, Tiny Pop and Pop Max, along with AVoD catch-up app the Pop Player.
