Some free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) services shout from the rooftops every time they add new channels, but Google has been quietly expanding its Freeplay service for months. The latest slate of new channels was actually spotted by 9to5Google over the weekend, bringing the Freeplay selection to 171 channels as of December 24.
Freeplay offers Google TV owners access to dozens of live TV channels, totally free of charge. You don’t even need to download a separate app or sign up for an account to watch these built-in live TV channels on your Google TV.
Here are all of the channels that Google has added to Freeplay since the last update, including some new holiday-themed channels from Xumo:
Designated Survivor
Places & Spaces – The Great Christmas Light Fight
Best of Dr Phil
Xumo Free Holiday Movie Channel
Xumo Free Holiday Classics
Xumo Christian Christmas
Continuum
Z Nation
The Design Network
Filmrise: Classic TV
UFC
Unbeaten
Big 12 Studios
Waypoint TV
PursuitUP
You can find all of these channels in the Live tab on your Google TV. Scroll down past the “Your Channels” section and look for “Built-In Channels” to start streaming.
9to5Google also notes that Stingray Greatest Holiday Hits, Stingray Soul Storm Christmas, and Stingray Hot Country Christmas music channels have been updated for the holidays. Perfect for some background music if you have friends or family over.
