It’s not that long ago that the broadcaster launched GREAT! Real featuring genuine drama and authentic stories.
But now the firm is planning a trio of launches across the UK and the US.
All the channels will be streamed only online, or via Samsung and LG’s built-in streamed TV services.
And the announcement comes as Narrative Entertainment celebrates its third birthday.
In the UK, viewers will soon find two channels called GREAT! Mystery and POP Up.
GREAT! Mystery is being billed as the “Home of the Whodunnit”.
It will offer network premiering movies to before they air on the main GREAT! Movies channel.
And POP Up is another new station for children.
The company already shifted its Tiny POP channel to digital only earlier this year.
Meanwhile, their first streamed channel is launching in the US too called GREAT! Comedy.
It focuses on in-depth interviews, comedic podcasts and material from JASH collective, a comedy group set up by Michael Cera and Sarah Silverman.
The launch dates for the channels are yet to be announced.
For those that don’t have a Samsung or LG TV you can watch online.
The best way to save money? FORGET paid streaming
Analysis by Jamie Harris, Senior Technology and Science Reporter at The Sun
FAST channels that bring TV to your screens via the internet are on the rise.
They’ve been around for a while now but many were filled with pretty rubbish programmes.
Now, bigger names have got on board, including Sky and Dave broadcaster UKTV in the UK.
Sure, you won’t find the latest big budget shows and movies on them.
But they’re a great alternative to all the paid streamers around and won’t cost you a penny.
