You can now watch 4,000+ episodes of TV shows for free on YouTube with ads.
The viewership on YouTube has obviously risen manifold and this signals that people are okay with ad-supported TV content. Numbers say that over 135 million users watch YouTube on big screens in the U.S. in 2021. This has resulted in YouTube planning to stream premium TV shows for free with ads.
Free ad-supported TV content or FAST has been there for a few years now and it’s moving to the next level. Popular TV shows and movies from Disney, Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, and more are going to be accessible on YouTube at no cost for U.S. citizens. YouTube is clearly making this move to compete with other ad-supported free streaming platforms like Roku, Peacock, and Tubi.
Note: Only viewers from the U.S. can enjoy the ad-supported free content for now. However, this promotes the FAST segments more than before.
Where to Watch the Free Shows?
YouTube is set to allow U.S. users to access up to 100 new titles each week. Viewers can watch the content on web browsers, mobile devices, and most TVs connected to the YouTube TV app.
