Definition:

Free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) refers to a television service that is available to viewers at no cost, but is supported by advertising revenue. These services typically provide access to a range of TV channels, which are made available to viewers for free in exchange for watching advertisements. Such services have become increasingly popular in recent years, with many viewers opting to use them as an alternative to traditional paid TV services. Contrary to Advertising Video-on-Demand (AVOD) refers to streaming services that offer their viewers the option to watch any content in their video library on demand in exchange for watching ads, FAST offers linear channels that are supported by advertisements. In other words, FAST operates like traditional linear TV. Instead of specific content, users choose which channels they would like to watch.
