Free Ad-Supported TV (FAST) Platform – 10 Year Financial Model Description
A FAST platform, or Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV, is a streaming service that lets users watch TV shows, movies, and live channels at no cost. Instead of charging a subscription fee, it runs ads during content to generate revenue. It works like traditional TV, with scheduled programming and commercial breaks, but it’s delivered over the internet. These platforms have become popular as people look for cheaper alternatives to paid services. Big media companies use FAST platforms to monetize older content libraries and reach broader audiences.
