Ahh thanks.
Altho that was disappointing. I was hoping for The Flintstones & The Jetsons etc etc.
Given they are Warner properties it was unlikely they would show up on a Paramount-owned service.

Seems a number of the channels (Wipeout, Baywatch, Survivor) are available in 720p HD, yet Bold, Peach and Shake are still only available in SD.

Because the broadcast channels are squeezing in to a DVB mix and the streams are generated from New York…

I don’t see the point of these channels if all they do is have one TV show on repeat. Why not just watch it “on demand”?
It’s similar to those FAST channels on 7plus, including channels for Big Brother and Better Homes and Gardens.

I suppose it’s for those who are still accustomed to watching a tv channel.
All of the free FAST platforms do it, so there must be an audience that are happy to watch any episode from any season of their favourite show in a linear format. Some of the channels show all the franchise variants for that one brand, like Wipeout Xtra which shows all the international versions.
I like it. I get that it’s a bit deceiving and is probably done excessively on some platforms to make the EPG look full, but I do see the benefit in having them. Some people like casual background viewing and don’t necessarily turn on the TV to be fully invested in a program. I don’t see the harm in them or see them as wasteful. I reckon why not? If you have the library you might as well make a channel out of it!

I like the logos they’ve designed for the mixed content channels. Hints of 10 without explicitly saying it:
Similar to Seven’s designs:

Put up the tinsel and turn on the TV because Christmas has come early at 10 Play with audiences receiving the gift of 13 new FAST channels launched today, offering a broad range of curated content for super fans to double down on their favourite shows or genres.
From dedicated channels of top reality TV, retro classics, crime dramas, kids’ content, Aussie dramas and more, there’s a FAST channel for everyone this Christmas giving audiences more of what they love to watch, free to stream whenever they want.

“Or if you want drama and can’t get enough of the Hoff, then you can stream every episode of Baywatch on a dedicated channel for this 90’s fan favourite. There’ll also be an Aussie Drama channel with a mix of much-loved shows such as Puberty Blues, Rush, The Secret Life of Us, and more.

“There’s something for everyone to stream for free this summer with a wealth of choice in this first taste of our FAST channels and it’s only just the start as we intend to expand in 2023.”

“This is just another feather in the cap for 10 Play which has had its biggest year yet, growing 6% on 2021 plus registered users have grown 84% in two years to 6.2 million.
“We’re excited to be able connect advertisers with this engaged audience with clear and tangible consumer buying power across a vast array of lucrative markets and industries.”

I assume the 24/7 Baywatch channel is just the same as it is on the Samsung TV app ?
I knew of Samsung’s internet tv offerings through my tv… I didn’t know Baywatch was one such channel until August of this year lol. And I’ve seen every episode multiple times over since then (yes I loved the show back in the day… watch it now more for a laugh at the bad acting!).
