Google TV already has a full suite of free channels with plenty of content to suit all types of viewers. But knowing we can never get enough, the platform adds more. With this update, US viewers now have access to more than 170 free channels.
According to 9to5Google , the update should now be available to anyone with a TV or streaming device running the latest Google TV software. You’ll find an expanded channel lineup in the Google TV Freeplay app.
Once you set up your new Google TV device, Freeplay gives you instant access to free, ad-supported live channels. However, it is currently only available in the United States.
Google TV’s latest channel removals come on top of its recent expansion. Just a few months ago, 14 new channels were added to the platform, bringing the total number of channels to 150.
The new pipeline is as follows:
- designated survivor
- Place and Space – The Great Christmas Light Battle
- Dr. Phil’s Picks
- Xumo Free Holiday Movie Channel
- Sumo Free Holiday Classics
- Xu Mo Christian Christmas
- continuum
- Country Z
- design network
- Movies Rising: Classic Television
- ultimate fighting championship
- undefeated
- Big 12 Studio
- waypoint tv
- Pursue UP
- Stingray’s Best Holiday Songs
- stingray soul storm christmas
- Stingray Hot Country Christmas
The latest update increases the number of channels on Google TV Freeplay to 171.
Along with this expansion, MotorTrend Fast TV also quietly disappeared. This constant shuffling of content being added and removed is expected to continue into 2025, making the streaming scene as unpredictable as ever.
When Google TV launches ad-supported TV in early 2023, it kicks off with 80 free channels.
Accessing these channels is very easy. Just go to the Live tab, scroll through your recommendations, or use the Google TV channel player to watch directly.
