The FAST Boom with Laura Taylor-Williams and Kate Cook

FAST TV Channels have become the industry buzzword over the last few years. In this session, Laura Taylor-Williams and Kate Cook from Aardman will take you through what Free Ad Supported TV channels (FAST) are, their rise in the distribution landscape and why, the platform players and differences in international markets and pointers for companies considering launching their own FAST Channel.

In addition, they will flag potential considerations for those outside of distribution with the advent of new rights to help content owners, producers and composers. Finally, they will give you a snapshot of Aardman’s own FAST channel that has recently launched in the USA Shaun the Sheep & Friends.
