Google TV is a great platform and its offering varies from country to country so now it is determined to expand the free content it offers. In recent days it has included more free channels to make it clear that apart from being a space in which to install apps from other platforms, it is one dedicated to quality content without paying a euro.
Now it reaches a total of 130 free channels with the inclusion of some very striking ones to send a message to the user: its objective is to be a great alternative to the offer of the best-known platforms such as Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video and others. Of course, this free content attracts users disenchanted with the general price increase and makes it easier for the giant to continue accommodating new channels.
‘FAST’ (Free Ad-Supported Television) channels on Google TV, or what would be the usual television, has become one of the protagonists of the platform. It has more than 800 free channels available to users through dongles and Smart TVs without the need to log in or prior configuration. Just press and you see the favorite content.

The only thing is that on Google TV the initial offer was reduced to 80. And it is now, at the end of June, when The number of channels that can be played has been updated up to more than 130.
There are 10 new channels including FilmRise Western, ION+, Johny Carson TV, Noticias Telemundo Ahora, Property & Reno, Real Disaster Channel, Supermarket Swep, The FBI Files, World´s Wildest Police Videos and Yahoo Finance. With this new addition, the number of channels that the platform offered in the United States reaches 132 from the 117 offered in November 2017.
Google has been quietly including more channels in recent months and even offers advertisers the possibility of broadcasting their ads on the platform, although as long as the ‘FAST’ channels are not available in Spain and other European countries, the reproduction of advertising will be prevented. If Netflix already plans to offer a free subscription with ads, this Google TV proposal seems to be getting closer and closer.
And according 9to5Googlewe must not forget about some of the other moves made by the tech giant regarding its FAST service, as the special Walmart dongle, launched last month with Google TV and the Magic Button, allows you to use that same button to play these free channels mentioned above.
