Hisense selected Xumo Enterprise, the business-to-business arm of Xumo, to power and monetize the initial set of channels in the new service due to its deep expertise and leadership in FAST.
Hisense Channels is beginning its rollout today on Hisense Google TVs and will be coming to more of its smart TVs soon. The service will be easily discoverable right from the operating system&rsquo;s homepage, offering viewers convenient access to content from Scripps, Radial Entertainment, Stingray, and other leading publishers.
&ldquo;The launch of Hisense Channels underscores our shared commitment to delivering a seamless, high-quality entertainment experience that meets the evolving expectations of today&rsquo;s TV audiences,&rdquo; said Stefan Van Engen, Vice President, Content Partnerships, Acquisition, Distribution and Experience, Xumo. &ldquo;Through strategic collaborations like this, Xumo is making it easier for consumers to find and enjoy all the premium FAST content that&rsquo;s out there today, while also giving content owners and advertisers more ways to reach new audiences.&rdquo;
&ldquo;Hisense Channels represents a major step forward in our mission to deliver premium, accessible entertainment to every household in America,&rdquo; said David Gold, President of Hisense USA. &ldquo;By partnering with Xumo Enterprise, we&rsquo;re not only expanding the content offerings on our smart TVs, but also reinforcing our commitment to innovation and value by unlocking a world of premium content that&rsquo;s free, seamless, and built right into the TVs our customers already love.&rdquo;
The launch builds on the ongoing collaboration between Xumo and Hisense, which includes the development of Hisense Xumo TVs powered by Xumo&rsquo;s operating system &mdash; designed to simplify content discovery and streamline the streaming experience.

With Launch, Xumo&rsquo;s Enterprise Business Powers Over 2,000 FAST Channels Across 30+ Global Platforms

Introducing Hisense Channels: A New Streaming Service for Hisense Smart TVs Powered by Xumo Enterprise

With its recent <a href="https://www.xumo.com/press/introducing-hisense-channels-a-new-streaming-service-for-hisense-smart-t-vs-powered-by-xumo-enterprise">Hisense Channels launch announcement</a>, Xumo has reached two major industry milestones, solidifying its position at the center of the FAST (free ad-supported television) ecosystem. Xumo now powers over 2,000 FAST channels across 30 entertainment platforms and streaming services worldwide through its&nbsp;<a href="https://www.xumo.com/enterprise">Enterprise</a> business.
The milestones speak to the scale of Xumo in today&rsquo;s rapidly growing and evolving FAST space, which is fueled in part by its unique and <a href="https://www.xumo.com/press/xumo-wins-digiday-streaming-and-videos-best-distribution-strategy-award">award-winning distribution strategy</a>. Chances are, when a consumer brings home a new smart TV, streaming device, or set-top box, they will at some point interact with a FAST channel powered by Xumo &ndash; whether on Xumo Play, the company&rsquo;s own direct-to-consumer FAST service, or integrated into the viewing experience of one of Xumo&rsquo;s 30 platform partners. When all these dozens of endpoints are considered, it means that Xumo-powered FAST channels reach nearly 100% of connected TVs in the U.S.
&ldquo;As Xumo&rsquo;s scale of premium content continues to increase, it unlocks powerful and efficient opportunities for advertisers to maximize the impact of their investments,&rdquo; said Ying Wang, General Manager, Xumo Advertising. &ldquo;Our ability to reach virtually every connected TV in the U.S., from smart TVs like Samsung and streaming platforms such as Google TV to pay-TV providers like Xfinity or Spectrum, ensures that brands working with Xumo can easily connect with highly engaged audiences in one place, no matter where they&rsquo;re watching ad-supported TV.&rdquo;
One of the more recent ways Xumo Enterprise is introducing new audiences to FAST is through integration of FAST channels into traditional pay-TV channel guides, allowing customers to browse free streaming channels powered by Xumo along with pay-TV channels. As part of this strategy, Xumo is the exclusive FAST pipeline for Xfinity X1 and its Stream App, Cox Contour and Sky&rsquo;s streaming devices. This industry-first approach is making it seamless and easy for engaged viewers to supplement their pay-TV channels with additional entertainment choices at no extra cost.
In addition to distribution through pay-TV providers, Xumo Enterprise partners with some of the biggest players in streaming to bring FAST into homes across the globe by powering many &ndash; and sometimes all&mdash;of the channels within the FAST apps offered by TV brands like Hisense, TCL, LG, Vizio, and Samsung on their smart TVs, helping to drive engagement and increase monetization. Similarly, smart TV operating systems such as Roku and Google TV leverage Xumo Enterprise to power the FAST channels that are seamlessly integrated into their user experience.
Many of these streaming platforms also enlist Xumo Enterprise to license and distribute a selection of Xumo&rsquo;s 20 house channels. Spanning genres such as movies, crime TV, kids and reality TV, Xumo&rsquo;s house channels help them enhance their content offering with already built and curated channels.
&ldquo;Xumo Enterprise&rsquo;s work with content owners, distributors, operators, TV brands and advertisers is the engine that runs the FAST industry,&rdquo; said Jiro Egawa, SVP, Platform Growth and Monetization. &ldquo;Since the early days of FAST and continuing to now with the joint venture, Xumo has always put performance, innovation and partnership at the forefront of all that we do. These milestones wouldn&rsquo;t be possible without the commitment of our partners and the trust they&rsquo;ve placed in us.&rdquo;
That commitment to performance and innovation is also reflected in the tools Xumo provides to its partners. Xumo Enterprise offers its award-winning Xumo Advertising Management Solution (X-AMS), a smart, efficient ad-serving platform designed to boost revenue by improving ad-fill rates and reducing unfilled ad slots, or &ldquo;slate.&rdquo; By ensuring every ad opportunity is maximized, X-AMS has become a trusted tool for partners, earning the 2025 StreamTV Award for Best Innovation in Advertising thanks to its proven performance and reliability.
These latest milestones reinforce Xumo Enterprise&rsquo;s position at the heart of the FAST ecosystem. Through strategic partnerships, seamless integrations and unmatched distribution, Xumo is transforming how audiences access free, premium content.
