TV RATINGS

Samsung TV Plus has reached 88 million monthly active users worldwide, the company reports. The FAST channel platform that is embedded on Samsung-made connected TV sets has emerged as a big player in the growing market for free ad-supported streaming TV channels, aka FAST. Samsung said it has seen more than 50% growth in the number of users worldwide during the past year.

“The success of Samsung TV Plus reflects our commitment to delivering a superior user experience with high-quality content that resonates with consumers. When we embarked on this ambitious journey, our vision was to offer a premium streaming alternative that was both simple to use and free. The strategic bets we made nearly a decade ago have established a strong foundation for a service now enjoyed by 88 million streamers each month, and the path ahead is bright and promises continued growth well into the future,” said Salek Brodsky, senior VP and general manager of Samsung TV Plus.

The 88 million MAU metric is significant for Samsung as it boosts its global advertising sales capabilities to capitalize on the TV Plus opportunity. According to Samsung, “in addition to over-indexing in the 18-49 demographic, Samsung TV Plus also over-indexes on primetime and late-night viewing in the U.S. Samsung Ads offers several innovative ad solutions on Samsung TV Plus, ranging from Contextual Audience Collectives around top-performing content genres to interactive shoppable ad and gaming experiences designed to drive outcomes.”

Samsung TV Plus’ unsual device-based footprint is a sign of how digital advertising networks are being assembled in radically different ways than in decades past.

“As the ad-supported streaming ecosystem continues to surge in popularity, Samsung TV Plus has emerged as a clear favorite among viewers across key demographics, with advertisers in prime verticals already leveraging its immense opportunity,” said Michael Scott, VP and head of ad sales and operations for Samsung Ads. “For advertisers looking to drive outcomes and prove results, Samsung TV Plus brings together the best of TV and streaming to offer an effective and measurable performance-driven solution.”
