FAST has seen rapid growth in the last few years and is extremely popular among cord-cutters. In fact, many cable networks are offering FAST channels to stay in the market and diversify their business model over IP TV. FAST has gained so much popularity that, according to Seeking Alpha, the market for FAST is projected to nearly double in revenue over the next two years, estimated to be over $4 billion in value.
On March 1st, Zype will host a live online discussion hosted by notable producer Evan Shapiro, featuring Zype CEO Ed Laczynski and EVP Of Engineering Shikha Arora, as well as Alan Wolk, Co-Founder/Lead Analyst at TV[R]EV, and Stuart McLean, CEO of FAST Studios.
Register here to listen in as they discuss FAST predictions for 2022 and how to create a successful FAST channel with the right tech stack, and the importance of marketing support and monetization tools needed to create a premium viewing experience for end users.
