Samsung’s bringing more content to TV Plus, its free, ad-supported streaming package that’s built into a range of Samsung devices and available on the web. The update introduces several new shows, such as Top Gear, Law & Order Special Victims Unit, NCIS, and Chicago Fire.

In addition to the new shows, TV Plus is getting two exclusive Samsung-owned channels: Ride or Drive, a station geared toward car fans, and Samsung Showcase, a channel dedicated to “concerts, events, and special programming.” It’s also partnering with A&E to launch a new home improvement-focused channel, called Home.Made.Nation.

And while Samsung already offers several local and nationwide news channels, including ABC News Live, CBS News, NBC News Now, and more, Samsung says it plans on extending local news and weather coverage to more areas of the US. It also wants to double its video-on-demand library in 2023 by utilizing “new and expanded partnerships” with Lionsgate, Vice Media, and more.

First launched in 2015, Samsung TV Plus has been around for quite a while now. The service comes installed on TVs released in 2016 or later, Galaxy devices, and select Family Hub refrigerator models. Samsung even launched TV Plus on the web last year, making its free channels available to anyone without a compatible Samsung device. Right now, Samsung offers 220 channels in the US, as well as a total of 1,600 channels split across 24 different countries.

Samsung TV Plus gets a visual overhaul and a wide-range of new premium content
By Pranob Mehrotra @pranobmehrotra - September 2, 2022

Samsung has announced a visual overhaul of its free TV streaming service, Samsung TV Plus, just over a year after opening it up to all users. In addition, the company is bringing more premium content to the platform, including shows like Top Gear, Law & Order Special Victims Unit, NCIS, and more.

Starting with the redesign, Samsung TV Plus now has a new blue and orange logo that “reflects the platform’s cross-device capabilities.” Samsung has redesigned its UI in line with the new logo’s color scheme, and it has also received a new Dark Theme with enhanced visibility.
As you can see in the attached image, the refreshed Samsung TV Plus home screen interface now looks a lot like the home screen interface of other popular streaming services.

Coming to the new shows, Samsung TV Plus will soon offer Top Gear, Law & Order Special Victims Unit, NCIS, and other popular content in the U.S., and users can also catch the exclusive premiere of the trailer for Demi Lovato’s new music video on the platform. In the U.K., Samsung TV Plus will exclusively offer the 2022 season of America’s Got Talent, as well as a few previous seasons. Additionally, the first native 8K produced TV series, Das Boot, will be available exclusively in 8K on the platform in Germany.

Samsung may put its free TV Plus streaming app into other manufacturers’ TVs
By Emma Roth - January 23, 2023

Samsung TV Plus, the app that houses hundreds of free channels, could eventually make its way to other, non-Samsung TVs. That’s according to media tech reporter Janko Roettgers, who writes in his Lowpass newsletter that Samsung’s in talks to bring its streaming app to TCL TVs.

Introduced in 2015, Samsung TV Plus is a free, ad-supported streaming (FAST) service that comes preinstalled on newer Samsung TVs. The service gives viewers a way to flip through a collection of channels, much like you would with a traditional TV service.

While the company has floated the idea of licensing individual channels to other TV makers, a source tells Roettgers that these talks “don’t seem to have gone anywhere.” Because of that, Samsung has instead switched gears to offering the entire TV Plus app to third-party manufacturers.

It's welcome on my LG smart TV. Unless it's as crappy designed as the one from Plex and Rakuten, and if ads are too annoying.
