A+E Networks EMEA expands its FAST footprint with Amagi

Amagi has partnered with A+E Networks EMEA to distribute three Free Ad-supported Streaming TV (FAST) channels to leading platforms in the UK.

A+E Networks EMEA is a global broadcaster reaching audiences in over 100 countries, including the UK, Nordics, Central and Eastern Europe. It has deployed Amagi’s cloud solutions in the past for broadcast-grade playout and channel delivery in Europe. It has chosen to extend the collaboration with Amagi to ensure a smooth and successful expansion into FAST.

“Partnering with a market leader like Amagi meant we could rapidly and confidently navigate new workflows and technology to efficiently deliver high-impact brands to the most sought-after FAST platforms. Incorporating this into our existing linear ecosystem with Amagi was a real bonus,” said Matthew Westrup, SVP of operations, A+E Networks EMEA.

“We take great pride in being A+E Networks EMEA’s technology partner. By enabling their expansion into FAST, we will not only open a new viewership and revenue stream for them but also enrich the FASTecosystem with superior content from one of the world’s leading broadcasters,” said Srinivasan KA, co-founder and chief revenue officer, Amagi.
