Google TV has recently expanded its free channel offerings on its Live tab, introducing 10 new channels to its ever-growing collection. This update brings the total number of free channels on Google TV to over 130, a significant increase from the original 77 channels.
The newly added channels in June 2024 cater to a wide range of interests, including:
– FilmRise Western: Perfect for fans of classic Western films.

These new additions complement the existing lineup of over 800 free channels available on Google TV, sourced from various content partners like Tubi, Plex, Pluto TV, and Haystack. Notably, Google’s own channels under “Google TV” in the Live tab do not require the installation of third-party apps for viewing convenience.
Google’s strategic emphasis on free ad-supported channels hints at a potential revenue opportunity for the tech giant. The recent unveiling of a dedicated Google TV network for advertisers on these channels underscores Google’s recognition of the market’s value. This proactive approach may result in more free channels being introduced in the future, offering viewers an even wider array of content choices.
The expansion of Google TV’s free channel lineup is undoubtedly a positive development for users seeking diverse entertainment options without additional subscription costs. With a rich selection of channels available, there is something entertaining for everyone to enjoy on Google TV.
