JW TV on a FAST Channel — Just a Thought for Discussion

[Maurício Bacchi]

JW TV on FAST Channels: A Possibility for the Future?

 

I want to be clear that I am not suggesting that a JW FAST channel exists, nor am I saying that the organization has any plans to create one. This is simply a question for discussion.

 

FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming Television) channels provide continuous programming over the internet, similar to traditional TV channels.

 

The idea came to mind because, in some parts of the world, including areas of Africa and South America, satellite transmissions are used to make spiritual content available where internet access may be limited. Also, not all smart TVs support JW Broadcasting apps, and some publishers—especially older ones—may find it difficult to access content through a web browser or other devices.

 

So my question is: What do you think? Could a JW TV channel in a FAST-style format be something the organization might find useful in the future, or do you think there would be little reason to use this type of platform?

 

Again, I am not implying that such plans exist. I am simply interested in hearing the brothers' and sisters' thoughts on the idea.

I don't dislike the concept, but I don't see the organization employing commercial ads for any endeavor ever.

I could see it happening, but without ads.  However, it doesn't solve the problem of areas without Internet, unless your talking about over the air, like our version of "COZI" TV

We already have that (or tried that). it’s called JW Broadcasting for Roku/Fire/Apple TV

 

you just press the shuffle button and it literally streams nonstop… do people forget we have this??  It’s been around since 2014

I bought my mum Amazon Fire and she’s over the moon (her TV set is a bit old).
