TalkTV launches as FAST channel on Amazon Freevee

News UK’s recently launched news channel TalkTV has extended its streaming distribution by launching a live streamed FAST channel on Amazon Freevee, the ad-supported video-on-demand streaming service which hosts original and licensed programming.

TalkTV launched in April last year after an earlier launch plan was postponed.

The channel features presenters including Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne, Vanessa Feltz and Jeremy Kyle.

TalkTV has laid claim to be the first news and live talk channel on Amazon Freevee in the UK. The channel will be available through the Amazon Freevee app on Fire TV, Fire Tablets, and within the Prime Video app. It’s also available as an app on third party devices, Android mobile devices, as well as iPhone, and iPad.

The channel said that its launch and subsequent run will be supported by promotional advertising and marketing.

Richard Wallace, head of TV, news broadcasting said: “We’re thrilled to launch on Amazon Freevee as the first news and live talk channel on the service in the UK. TalkTV has seen incredible growth over the past 10 months, sharing inspiring and passionate content with our audiences online, via the app, social media, streaming services and on linear TV. This launch allows TalkTV’s unmatched content to be shared with a huge new audience, and we’re eager to share our unique exclusives, opinions and voices on this platform.”
