With 80 FAST channels added to Fawesome over the last 12 months, Future Today continues to invest heavily in its free streaming platform, which is available across all major Smart TV models, mobile devices and the web.

• Blue Ant Media – Providing engaging lifestyle and documentary programming
• Moviesphere and Ebony by Lionsgate – Bringing award-winning films and diverse entertainment content

• GoPro TV – Showcasing thrilling adventure and action sports footage
• Voice of America – Delivering trusted news coverage from around the globe
• Gusto TV – one-stop-shop for delectable dishes, helpful cooking tips, and inspiring food content

"With this expansion, we're strategically positioning Fawesome at the intersection of premium content and accessibility," said Vikrant Mathur, Co-Founder of Future Today. "Our growing FAST channel portfolio directly addresses evolving viewer preferences while creating valuable new opportunities for advertisers seeking engaged audiences across diverse demographics."

Fawesome has been rapidly expanding its original content library as well, having recently launched its first original feature films including "Greenwood Rising: The Rise of Black Wall Street" starring Darius McCrary (Family Matters) and "The Peanut Man" featuring Glenn Plummer (South Central). The platform also debuted its first-ever original competition series "Southern Food Truck Wars" hosted by celebrity chef Jay Ducote and "Fawesome Family Game Show" hosted by LaTangela Fay.

"The market has clearly validated the FAST model," said David Di Lorenzo, SVP of Kids & Family at Future Today. "Our expanded channel lineup delivers the high-quality, targeted content viewers want without subscription barriers, while providing advertisers with contextually relevant environments for their messaging.
