JOIN (Just One Incredible Network) is scheduled to launch Fall 2024 and upon launch will be Canada’s premiere F.A.S.T. channel network. Offering the best in Canadian and world programming for Canadian and global viewers. 

F.A.S.T. (Free Ad-Supported Television) works like traditional TV but over the internet. It by-passes cable and satellite providers that traditionally act as a controller or distributor and is accessed direct via the internet to Smart TVs. Viewers watch programs for free with no need to pay for cable or costly monthly subscription fees in exchange for watching ads during pre-scheduled breaks. F.A.S.T. streaming television has become increasingly popular with the rise of online video platforms and the growing demand for high-quality, on-demand free content.

All Smart TVs have a settings menu. While each model might organize the TV settings differently, search within your Smart TV menu the section that allows you to “scan for channels” or “scan for TV apps.” The process for downloading a F.A.S.T. channel is similar to downloading an app to your smart phone, or to a smart tablet device.

The JOIN Network operates on a versatile platform that streams video on a wide range of popular consumer devices, including Apple (iOS/tvOS), Google (AndroidTV), Web (PC / Mobile) and has been pre-approved to operate on Roku TV and Chromecast.

Some well-known F.A.S.T. channels include Pluto TV, Tubi, Xumo, IMDb TV, and Crackle. These channels can be accessed through streaming platforms like Roku TV, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, as well as dedicated apps on various smart devices.

F.A.S.T. television offers several benefits to users. Firstly, viewers watch programs for free with no need to pay for cable or costly monthly subscription fees and provides a seamless and uninterrupted streaming experience. Secondly, F.A.S.T. television allows for niche programming, so viewers can watch what they choose to watch. F.A.S.T. streaming is particularly advantageous for live events, sports broadcasts, and real-time communication, as it minimizes delays and latency. Additionally, it supports efficient bandwidth utilization, reducing data consumption and enables streaming on a wide range of other devices, including smart phones and tablets.

Yes! Free Ad-Supported Television (FAST) works like traditional TV but offers free access to programming in exchange for watching ads during pre-scheduled breaks.

F.A.S.T. channels generate revenue through various monetization strategies. One common approach is through advertising, where channels display commercials or sponsored content during streaming. They can charge advertisers based on impressions, clicks, or conversions. Another avenue is through subscription-based models, where viewers pay a recurring fee to access premium content or an ad-free experience. Additionally, channels may engage in partnerships and collaborations with brands or other content creators, earning revenue through sponsorships or revenue sharing. Some channels also leverage e-commerce by integrating product placements or offering merchandise related to their content. Combined, these methods allow F.A.S.T. streaming channels to generate income and sustain their operations.

No, a subscription is not typically required for a F.A.S.T. streaming service such as JOIN TV. As the name suggests, these services offer streaming of shows, movies, and live content without any cost. However, it's important to note that free streaming services often include advertisements that interrupt the viewing experience. Additionally, some free streaming services may require you to create an account or sign up to access their offerings. While they provide a cost-free option, paid subscription services generally offer a more comprehensive and premium streaming experience.
