Philo is adding 7 more free channels to its lineup brining the total number of free channels to over 100. The streaming platform has added seven new channels to its standalone, completely free offering, bringing its ad-supported lineup to over 100 live channels and thousands of on-demand movies and shows.
Philo’s free platform, accessible instantly via web, mobile, or devices like Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Samsung TV, Android TV, and LG TV, delivers a cable-like experience without the cost. Viewers can dive into popular shows like Breaking Bad, Mad Men, Nashville, and Love After Lockup, or explore niche genres such as true crime, reality TV, and classic series. For those who opt to create a free account—requiring only an email address—Philo offers standout features like unlimited 30-day DVR for select titles, the only such offering among free streaming services, plus channel favoriting and watch history tracking. These perks enhance the lean-back viewing experience that Philo champions.
These new channels are also included in Philo’s $28/month Core plan, which bundles 70+ premium pay-TV channels, the 100+ free channels, and the full AMC+ library, offering a robust alternative for subscribers seeking more variety. Meanwhile, YouTube continues to dominate overall streaming with a 12% share, driven by user-generated content, while Disney’s aggregated services (Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+) hold 5%. Unlike YouTube, Philo, Roku Channel, and Tubi focus on curated, studio-backed programming, carving out a distinct FAST niche.
As cord-cutting accelerates, Philo’s free service, now bolstered by fresh channels, is poised to attract budget-conscious viewers. While The Roku Channel benefits from platform integration and live sports, Philo’s unique DVR feature and growing channel slate make it a rising star in the FAST race.
New Channels Added to Philo’s Free Lineup:
- DECLASSIFIED (from Blue Ant Media): Unravels historical mysteries and covert operations.
- So…Real: Delivers reality TV with bold personalities and unfiltered drama.
- Land of the Lost: Revives the classic sci-fi adventure series for nostalgic fans.
- I (Almost) Got Away With It: Chronicles true crime stories of near-escapes from justice.
- Nosey: Features juicy talk shows and courtroom drama like Jerry Springer and Maury.
- LOL! Network (from Hartbeat): Showcases diverse comedy series and specials.
- LOL Stand-Up! (from Hartbeat): Highlights stand-up performances from rising comedians.
