FaithNFreedomTV Expands Reach with Launch on Airy TV FAST Network

FaithNFreedom, a Plano-based Christian streaming service, has announced that its flagship channel, FaithNFreedomTV, is now available on Airy TV, a free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) service operated by Showfer Media LLC. This move marks the channel's first carriage on a FAST network, placing its live programming before a national audience at no cost to viewers.

Airy TV, which requires no subscription, login, or credit card, is accessible on Amazon Fire TV, Android, Android TV, iOS, and any web browser at airy.tv/live-tv. The service offers live linear channels and on-demand content, similar to Pluto TV and Tubi.

FaithNFreedomTV streams 24/7 with biblical teaching, prophetic insight, health freedom, documentaries, and news commentary. The channel draws from a library of more than 1,000 on-demand titles produced by over 40 independent creators, including Joe Horn of SkyWatchTV, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, Lance Wallnau, Amanda Grace, and Gene Bailey of FlashPoint.

Rick Rene, founder of FaithNFreedom and Blessed2Teach Ministries, emphasized the significance of FAST networks in the streaming landscape. "Most people know that streaming is now bigger than broadcast and cable combined. What most don't know is that the fastest-growing part of streaming is FAST networks, projected to grow to $11 billion by 2030 according to Omdia. Airy TV is one of those networks, and we're excited to partner with them as we work to bring truth to the mountain of media and amplify Christian Patriots who have been censored," Rene said.

Reaching a FAST network requires infrastructure most independent Christian channels lack. FaithNFreedom has built and operates its own live electronic program guide and ad-insertion signaling, which distributors require. On its own apps and community embeds, viewers also get pause-and-rewind functionality on live channels.

Lenny King, Chief Revenue Officer of Showfer Media LLC (Airy TV), welcomed the addition. "We're glad to welcome FaithNFreedomTV to Airy TV. Our whole model is built on taking away everything that stands between a viewer and a channel they want to watch - no subscription, no login, no credit card. FaithNFreedom came to us with a real network behind it, and now that programming reaches a national audience on Fire TV, Android, Android TV, iOS, and the web. That's the whole point of FAST: the audience finds you, and nothing gets in the way," King said.

FaithNFreedom continues to stream on its community hub at faithnfreedom.social/watch, where viewers can access live channels, program guides, and discussion alongside the on-demand library. The service is free to watch and available on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, iOS, Android, and the web.

This expansion into the FAST network space is significant for independent Christian content creators, as it provides a new avenue to reach broader audiences without the barriers of traditional cable or subscription services. For viewers, it means easier access to a diverse range of programming that might otherwise be difficult to find.
