Frndly TV, the budget-friendly streaming service known for its family-oriented programming, has added a new channel to its roster: CLEO TV. The announcement, which came on March 21, 2025, has already sparked excitement among subscribers, with some taking to social media to celebrate the addition. This move further solidifies Frndly TV’s commitment to offering diverse, feel-good content at an affordable price, starting at just $6.99 per month.
CLEO TV, a lifestyle and entertainment network targeting Millennial and Gen X women of color, brings a fresh perspective to Frndly TV’s lineup of over 50 channels. Launched in 2019, CLEO TV has carved out a niche with its vibrant programming, which spans cooking, home décor, travel, culture, movies, and docu-series. Shows like New Soul Kitchen, Just Eats with Chef JJ, and Living by Design with Jake and Jazz highlight the channel’s focus on aspirational living, while classic sitcoms such as Eve and Girlfriends add a nostalgic touch. The network’s mission to reflect the dynamic interests and culture of its audience aligns seamlessly with Frndly TV’s goal of delivering content that resonates with a wide range of viewers.
The inclusion of CLEO TV follows Frndly TV’s recent efforts to broaden its appeal. In April 2024, the service began carrying local broadcast stations in select markets, and over the past year, it has added channels like MeTV Toons, Bounce, and Stingray Music to its lineup. With CLEO TV now on board, Frndly TV continues to cater to its growing subscriber base—last reported at over 750,000—while keeping its focus on family-friendly, accessible entertainment.
Viewers can access CLEO TV immediately through Frndly TV’s app on platforms like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, iOS, and Android devices. The channel is also available as part of Frndly’s 72-Hour Look Back feature and can be recorded with the service’s optional unlimited cloud DVR. For fans of lifestyle programming with a cultural twist, CLEO TV’s arrival on Frndly TV is a perfect match—and a sign that the streamer is listening to its audience’s call for more inclusive content.
