A new CNN Originals FAST channel is now available to watch in the Unites States. As the name suggests, CNN Originals is dedicated to CNN’s original programming, and comes with a specific focus on the network’s long-form content.
Some of the titles available to watch at launch include Amanpour: Sex and Love Around the World, Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, Chasing Life with Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Diana, Lincoln: Divided We Stand, Soundtracks: Songs That Defined History, This is Life with Lisa Ling, The Wonder List with Bill Weir, and United Shades of America with W. Kamau Bell.
With this being a brand new channel, platform support is a little limited at the moment. At present, CNN Originals is channel only available through Amazon Freevee, Fire TV Channels, Prime Video and Plex.
“We’re very happy to expand CNN’s FAST portfolio with the new compelling offering of a CNN Originals channel, bringing some of the very best, award-winning long-form content in the business to audiences in this format,” said Phil Nelson, EVP of CNN International Commercial.
CNN Originals joins CNN’s two existing FAST channels and it looks like more free ad-supported channels are expected to launch in the near future.
“This new channel adds to CNN’s current FAST offerings of CNN Headlines in the US and CNN Fast around the world, with additional channels planned to launch in the months ahead,” Nelson added.
