EXCLUSIVE: Earthday 365, the FAST channel founded by Pamela Anderson and K2 Studios, is expanding its distribution in the U.S.
The channel has launched on Amazon’s Freevee service. This comes after its February launch on Pluto TV in the U.S.
The channel features 2,500 hours of content including series, specials, and IMAX documentary films such as Shark Heroes and Wonders of Wildlife.
K2 Studios is handling distribution in the US, while Amsterdam-based Static Waves Media Group is handling its European and international distribution.
Anderson is involved with the FAST channel alongside her son Brandon Thomas Lee, who produced Netflix’s documentary Pamela, a Love Story.
“I’m so thrilled that we are receiving such a positive response to EarthDay 365,” said Anderson. “Having Freevee on board extends our reach across the US greatly, providing even more viewers with this incredibly beautiful and inspiring content for free. Our aim is to make this channel available to everyone everywhere and we’re off to a great start.”
“For more than two decades K2 has produced and distributed IMAX format documentary films and documentary TV series with nature, science, outdoor adventure and sustainability themes for every type of platform, from giant screen theaters to TV, streaming and more,” said K2 President Mark Kresser. “Now the FAST channel world is exploding, and we love the opportunity it provides to reach millions more viewers around the globe with this very worthwhile channel and content.”
“EarthDay 365 is one of those rare channels that crosses all borders and appeals to audiences everywhere,” added Linn Adolfsson, CCO, Static Waves. “There are not many FAST channels that are nature-focused, and certainly none of this exceptional quality. Many of the shows are shot in 4K and 8K, which looks incredible on today’s SmartTVs.”
