The FAST Channel Revolution: An Australian Perspective

Streaming leaders from Seven Network, Amagi, Grass Valley, TAG Video Systems offer their thoughts

FAST (free advertising-supported streaming television) is on the rise not just here in the U.S. but internationally. A recent study by The Conversation unveiled that, in the Australian market, more than 600 FAST channels are available.

This new era of streaming is giving new life to linear viewing. So how are M&E leaders across Oceania embracing this opportunity? In this special panel discussion, experts discuss how to launch a FAST channel, how to find success, and why everyone from clubs to leagues and broadcast networks should be investigating it.

Participants in the discussion:

• Tara Carlon, Seven Network, Executive Producer, 7SPORT Digital
• Michael Demb, TAG Video Systems, VP, Product Strategy
• Amanda Leighton, Amagi, Executive Director, Oceania
• Tony Moran, Grass Valley, Regional Sales Director, Oceania

This session was hosted at the 2024 SVG Australia Summit on May 23 in Sydney and was moderated by Phil Sandberg, Owner/Publisher, Content+Technology.
