Criterion Channel Launches 'Criterion24/7', a Livestream Service for Cinephiles

The new service offers a curated, continuous stream of films, mimicking the serendipitous experience of traditional TV channel surfing.

Criterion24/7 allows viewers to tune into a non-stop selection of films without the need to choose what to watch.
The service aims to recreate the nostalgic experience of stumbling upon films on cable TV, enhancing viewer engagement.
Subscribers can access the service at any time, with films ranging from arthouse classics to contemporary cinema.
No schedule or programming guide is available, adding an element of surprise to the viewing experience.
The launch reflects a broader trend among streaming services to offer more linear viewing options to combat choice overload.
