Frndly TV, a budget-friendly live TV streaming service, announced today, that it has added the REELZ channel to its lineup, responding to customer demand. This addition brings the popular reality series “On Patrol: Live” to Frndly TV subscribers, expanding the platform’s offerings for viewers seeking affordable entertainment.
Frndly TV, known for its family-oriented channel selection and low-cost plans starting at $7.99 per month, now includes REELZ alongside its existing 40+ channels, such as A&E, Hallmark, Lifetime, and The History Channel. The service, which launched in 2019, has grown to over 700,000 subscribers by 2022, appealing to cord-cutters looking for affordable alternatives to traditional cable. The addition of REELZ enhances Frndly TV’s appeal, particularly for fans of police reality programming and true-crime content.
“On Patrol: Live,” a documentary-style series hosted by Dan Abrams, Sean “Sticks” Larkin, and Deputy Sheriff Curtis Wilson, airs live every Friday and Saturday from 9 p.m. to midnight ET, with its companion show “On Patrol: First Shift” airing at 8 p.m. ET. The series follows law enforcement officers on patrol across various U.S. communities, offering real-time insights into their daily work. Since its premiere in July 2022, the show has become a ratings success for REELZ, contributing to a reported 292% increase in the network’s primetime audience. REELZ has renewed “On Patrol: Live” for a fourth season, securing 90 new episodes through January 2026.
The inclusion of REELZ on Frndly TV complements the platform’s existing offerings, which focus on feel-good programming and lifestyle content. Frndly TV subscribers can access REELZ on all three of its plans—Basic ($7.99/month), Classic ($9.99/month), and Premium ($11.99/month)—with features like HD streaming and unlimited DVR available on higher tiers. The service is accessible on devices such as Roku, Amazon Fire TV, and mobile apps, making it easy for viewers to tune in.
REELZ also offers its own streaming app, REELZ+, launched in March 2025, for $4.99 per month, providing live and on-demand access to its programming. However, Frndly TV’s integration of REELZ allows subscribers to enjoy “On Patrol: Live” alongside other channels in a single, cost-effective package. This move aligns with Frndly TV’s mission to deliver value-driven entertainment, positioning it as a competitive option in the crowded streaming market.
Viewers can start watching REELZ on Frndly TV immediately, with a 7-day free trial available for new subscribers. The addition of “On Patrol: Live” is expected to attract fans of reality-based programming, further solidifying Frndly TV’s role as an affordable streaming solution.
