A 2.51-million-subscriber YouTube network supplies the programming — and a template Korea, holding both news archives and the Samsung/LG FAST platforms, is positioned to use
New York Post Media Group is launching its first free ad-supported streaming TV (FAST) channel, the company's head of video and audio Warren Cohen told Axios.
The timing tracks the audience: global FAST viewing grew 55% year over year, and news sits alongside entertainment as one of the two largest genres by both hours of viewing and ad impressions, according to Amagi's June 2026 AIRTIME Report.

The structural drivers behind FAST's expansion are familiar by now. Subscription-weary viewers are shifting to programming that carries no monthly fee, advertisers keep moving budgets into connected TV, and the video libraries publishers built on YouTube and through video podcasts can be repackaged into 24-hour channel schedules.
After years of prioritizing owned-and-operated platforms, publishers are moving back into third-party distribution. For Korea — home to deep broadcast news archives and to the manufacturers behind two of the world's largest FAST platforms — this is not a distant story.
150 hours of programming, refreshed 20% a month
The channel draws 150 hours of programming from across the group's portfolio, which spans the New York Post, the California Post, Page Six, Page Six Hollywood and Decider. Daily shows anchor the schedule — Post Presents, Page Six Radio and Schein Time among them — and roughly a fifth of the lineup will rotate each month.
