Overview

• The always-on channel is available in the U.S. on Samsung TV Plus as a free, ad-supported, lean-back TV experience.
• Programming features a rotating lineup including Book of Basketball 2.0, The Rewatchables, The Big Picture, Higher Learning, and Speidi’s 16th Minute.
• Variety notes some flagship podcasts are not included at launch, including The Bill Simmons Podcast.
• Deadline reports the Samsung arrangement is non-exclusive and functions as a greatest-hits channel, contrasting with Netflix’s newly announced deal that will bring select Spotify and Ringer shows to Netflix in 2026 with new episodes removed from YouTube.
• Samsung cites broad device availability and tens of millions of global active users to position the channel as new inventory for advertisers targeting engaged podcast audiences.
