Today Samsung and Conan O’Brien announced a partnership that will bring his original show “CONAN” exclusively to Samsung TV Plus viewers starting in June 2023. With this deal the Conan O’Brien TV channel will launch exclusively on Samsung TV Plus, Samsung’s free ad-supported TV service that offers over 250 live channels in the U.S. and thousands of shows and movies on demand to millions of Samsung Smart TVs and Samsung Galaxy smartphones.
“We are thrilled to expand the reach of the show in partnership with one of the best brands in the world,” said Jeff Ross, Executive Producer. “Samsung TV Plus is the ideal home for Conan’s first FAST channel, given the scale and credibility of the service within the FAST sector. It allows us to instantly share some of the best moments of the show with our loyal fans and to reach new ones.”
The Conan O’Brien TV channel, available only on Samsung TV Plus, is the latest partnership between Samsung TV Plus and leading content creators, networks and studios, which enable the brand’s platform – one of the first FAST services by a device manufacturer – to offer nearly 2,000 completely free channels globally, reaching 24 countries.
“We are in a golden era of content creation and Samsung TV Plus is fiercely committed to staying at the cutting edge of the premium programming that consumers want,” said Salek Brodsky, SVP & GM of Samsung TV Plus. “Samsung is proud to launch Conan’s first FAST channel and bring his signature brand of comedy to millions of Samsung TV Plus users. We greatly value our collaboration with such innovative and creative partners and look forward to continuing our efforts to deliver laughs, fun and entertainment to audiences at home and on-the-go.”
