Samsung TV Plus is doubling down on content and giving you a new reason to cancel your paid streaming subscriptions.
The streaming service, which comes bundled with some of the South Korean tech giant’s Galaxy phones, tablets, and smart TVs, follows the free, ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) model. The service gained five new sports channels back in May, and it is now bringing a trove of content from some of the biggest names on YouTube.
Samsung is bringing some of the internet’s most recognizable names together and essentially curating and packaging their work for “the biggest screen in the home.” This includes not only a 13-episode original production with Dhar Mann Studios, which will debut on the Dhar Mann TV channel on Samsung TV Plus, but also dedicated channels for popular creators like Mark Rober, Michelle Khare, Smosh, The Try Guys, Epic Gardening, The Sorry Girls, and Donut Media. “The newest additions bring a combined subscribership of over 175 million,” said Samsung in a blog post detailing the development.
Said creators join an existing list of famous creators already featured on the platform, including the likes of Mythical, Hot Ones, Conan O’Brien, David Letterman, and even the most subscribed YouTuber, MrBeast.
New channels to arrive in the coming months
In similar vein to Mann’s partnership, former NASA engineer turned creator Mark Rober, too, has inked an exclusive FAST partnership with Samsung TV Plus. The aptly-named Mark Rober TV channel will offer viewers of all ages a unique destination for his highly educational and entertaining STEM-focused videos. “Bringing my work to Samsung TV Plus means sharing the wonder of science and engineering with even more families,” said Rober. “This is about bringing curiosity and creativity front and center, right where the family gathers.”
The dedicated channels are slated to begin arriving on Samsung TV Plus in the coming months, with Mann’s 13-episode original set to arrive later this year.
