News Image
Sky TV has unveiled even more content at no extra cost with the launch of six new Sky Free Ad-supported Streaming Television (FAST) channels on Sky Glass and Sky Stream.

Leveraging the power of Sky’s back catalogue, the channels – including Pick Paranormal, Emergency 24/7, Sky Artist of The Year, Sky Sports Stories, Sky Sports Classics and Sky Sports Vault – will be home to a range of previously aired, much loved shows.

Pick Paranormal: not for the faint of heart, Pick Paranormal features Most Haunted, the fan favourite TV show investigating all things supernatural.

Emergency 24/7: with Highway Cops, Air Ambulance ER and Stop Search Seize, plus many more shows, Emergency 24/7 is packed full of drama.

Sky Artist of The Year: the channel for art aficionados, viewers can catch up on Sky’s Portrait Artist of the Year and Landscape Artist of the Year.

Sky Sports Stories: whatever their sport, Sky Sports Stories has a documentary for every fan - from EFL Rivalries to Her Huddle.

Sky Sports Classics: viewers can delve into the Sky Sports archives with the likes ofPremier League Icons and Premier League Legends.

Sky Sports Vault: the channel revisits a whole host of archive darts, EFL and boxing content including 30 Years of The PDC World Darts Championship and Fight Night.
The Sky FAST channels are available on Sky Glass and Sky Stream through the new Xumo Play app, which offers an additional 70+ free streaming channels including Dateline, Reuters and American Classics.

Xumo Play is a leading FAST app owned by Xumo, a joint venture between Comcast and Charter, and today’s launch marks the first time it will be available outside North America.

Sky TV customers can easily find the free app in the apps rail, or by saying “Xumo Play” into their Sky voice remote and start watching the new channels straight away. No need to create an account.

Later this year, the new FAST channels will be available on Sky Q and integrated into the TV guide on Sky Glass and Sky Stream for seamless discovery alongside Sky Ultimate TV’s lineup of over 150 channels.
