‘Hand-curated’ streamer Mometu adds content and tech with FAST Channels TV deal

Free streamer Mometu has announced an agreement with FAST Channels TV to expand its content library.

Mometu, which launched in the US last month, offers over 10,000 titles with its USP being that all the content is ‘hand-curated’ without the use of AI. This approach, the company said, allows it to provide ‘thought-provoking’ content and bring greater representation to under-the-radar creatives and favourites that are difficult to find online.

This partnership with FAST Channels TV brings over 200 FAST channels and hundreds of VOD titles. 

Mometu is also leveraging FAST Channels TV’s suite of products and services including middleware, security, monetization, and standard apps, for a complete end-to-end white label branded OTT platform.

Bryan Louzil, vice president of business development for Mometu, said: “Mometu strives to deliver an experience viewers won’t find anywhere else, collaborating with filmmakers to bring greater diversity to the streaming world, and improve distribution access for creators. FAST Channels TV enabled our vision, allowing us to launch this brand-new service that allows viewers to enjoy our inspiring shows, movies and documentaries for free; anytime, anywhere.”

Russell Foy, CEO of Fast Channels TV, commented: “We are incredibly excited to partner with Mometu. Our combined portfolio will provide global audiences with a new way to access captivating content they may not have ordinarily discovered and our technology will help to expand Mometu’s distribution footprint and build new paths to monetisation.

“This partnership speaks to the growing popularity of FAST TV, both from a distributor and a consumer perspective, and we look forward to developing our services in this dynamic era of entertainment.”
