The popular Canadian sitcom Schitt’s Creek has now launched its dedicated free ad-supported TV (FAST) channel, providing fans with easy access to all episodes. The Schitt’s Creek Channel features the entire six-season series, along with a one-hour farewell special titled “Best Wishes, Warmest Regards: A Schitt’s Creek Farewell.” This initiative by CBC aims to give viewers a comprehensive viewing experience centered on the beloved Rose family and their misadventures.
Where to Watch the Schitt’s Creek Channel
The new channel is available on CBC’s Gem streaming service. Users can enjoy it for free with ads or opt for an ad-free experience at a monthly subscription of $5.99. Additionally, the Schitt’s Creek Channel will be accessible on LG Channels and The Roku Channel later this year.
CBC’s Expanding FAST Channel Offerings
This launch marks CBC’s fourth FAST channel, following previous offerings like CBC Comedy along with dedicated channels for Heartland and Murdoch Mysteries. This move comes as part of CBC’s strategy to reach a wider audience amidst the growing competition in the streaming market.
Current Availability on Streaming Platforms
It’s worth noting that while CBC has maintained a long-standing partnership with Netflix Canada, only three seasons of Schitt’s Creek are currently available on the platform. As viewers seek affordable alternatives, the rising popularity of FAST channels becomes evident.
The Rising Appeal of FAST Channels
Amid increasing subscription costs from major streaming services, many consumers are gravitating towards ad-supported options. This trend indicates a shift in viewer preferences, making channels like Schitt’s Creek more appealing despite the presence of advertisements.
