There is one more live TV service jumping into the fray called ZipWave TV. This new service offers a mix of free and premium channels like the Game Show Network and Great American Family. ZipWave TV describes itself as an inexpensive, wholesome, and commitment-free streaming service.
The service seems to be targeting people who want a smaller group of channels like Newsmax and Great American Family along with the Game Show Network but don’t want to pay for a long list of other channels. This is a move that both Frndly TV and Philo TV have found success at.
The service will cost $12 a month or $120 a year and will be available on iOS, Android, Fire TV, Apple TV, Roku, Samsung, and LG at launch with other devices coming soon.
“We’re thrilled to be launching ZipWave TV in the United States,” said Michael Carswell, CEO of ZipWave LLC, when the service was announced in March. “Our goal is to provide an accessible streaming option for anybody looking for quality entertainment without breaking the bank. Our programming partners offer the best in wholesome, uplifting content as well as national and international live news, which has thus far been an underserved niche in OTT services.”
ZipWave TV subscribers will be able to “enjoy a low-cost, flexible subscription, allowing them to choose the option that best fits their budget and viewing preferences.”
