Pluto TV Sets Massive Expansion

Pluto TV is headed to the land down under. Paramount’s free, ad-supported streaming television (FAST) platform is set to launch in Australia. More than 50 FAST channels will become available in “a dedicated branded area on Paramount Australia & New Zealand digital platform 10 Play,” beginning Aug. 31, the entertainment conglomerate announced Wednesday.

Channels available at launch in Australia will include South Park, new and exclusive MTV and Nickelodeon channels, such as MTV Reality, MTV The Shores, Nick Classics and Nick Toons, and classic shows like I Love Lucy, Happy Days, Dynasty, and more. Additional content and channels will be announced closer to the Aug. 31 launch, according to the company. The Australian launch will expand Pluto TV’s global footprint, which currently covers 35 markets in three continents.
