FaithNFreedom, a free Christian streaming service and independent Christian TV network, announced that its flagship channel, FaithNFreedomTV, is now live on Airy TV, the free ad-supported streaming television service operated by Showfer Media LLC. The launch marks FaithNFreedomTV's first carriage on a FAST network, placing its live Christian TV programming in front of a national audience at no cost to viewers. Airy TV requires no subscription, no login, and no credit card, and is available on Amazon Fire TV, Android, Android TV, iOS, and any device with a web browser at airy.tv/live-tv (see the Lifestyle category).
FaithNFreedomTV streams 24/7 with biblical teaching, prophetic insight, health freedom, documentaries, and news commentary. The channel draws from a network library of more than 1,000 on-demand titles produced by over 40 independent creators, including Joe Horn of SkyWatchTV, Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, Lance Wallnau, Amanda Grace, and Gene Bailey of FlashPoint. This expansion is a significant step for the network, as it moves beyond its own apps to reach a broader audience through a platform that is rapidly gaining traction in the streaming industry.
“Most people know that streaming is now bigger than broadcast and cable combined. What most don't know is that the fastest-growing part of streaming is FAST networks, projected to grow to $11 billion by 2030 according to Omdia. Airy TV is one of those networks, and we're excited to partner with them as we work to bring truth to the mountain of media and amplify Christian Patriots who have been censored,” said Rick Rene, founder of FaithNFreedom and Blessed2Teach Ministries. This partnership underscores the growing importance of FAST networks, which are becoming a major distribution channel for niche content providers.
Airy TV operates on the same free ad-supported model as Pluto TV and Tubi, giving viewers live linear channels and on-demand content with no paid tier. For FaithNFreedom, the carriage extends distribution beyond its own free apps on Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, iOS, and Android, and marks the network's entry into broadcast streaming television. Reaching a FAST network requires infrastructure most independent Christian channels lack. The Christian streaming service carries a live electronic program guide and the ad-insertion signaling distributors require, built and operated by the network itself. On FaithNFreedom's own apps and community embeds, viewers also get pause-and-rewind functionality on the live channels.
“We're glad to welcome FaithNFreedomTV to Airy TV. Our whole model is built on taking away everything that stands between a viewer and a channel they want to watch - no subscription, no login, no credit card. FaithNFreedom came to us with a real network behind it, and now that programming reaches a national audience on Fire TV, Android, Android TV, iOS, and the web. That's the whole point of FAST: the audience finds you, and nothing gets in the way,” said Lenny King, Chief Revenue Officer, Showfer Media LLC (Airy TV). This collaboration highlights the mutual benefits for both platforms, as FaithNFreedom gains access to a larger audience while Airy TV expands its content offerings.
The implications of this announcement are significant for the Christian media landscape. By joining a FAST network, FaithNFreedomTV can reach viewers who may not have previously been aware of its content, potentially expanding its influence and fulfilling its mission to provide an alternative to mainstream media. For the broader streaming industry, this move underscores the viability of FAST networks as a distribution channel for specialized content, and it may encourage other independent networks to follow suit. As FAST networks continue to grow, partnerships like this are likely to become more common, reshaping how niche content reaches audiences.
FaithNFreedom continues to stream on its community hub at faithnfreedom.social/watch, carrying live channels, program guides, and discussion alongside the network's on-demand library. How to watch: Airy TV is available at airy.tv/live-tv and through the Airy TV app on Amazon Fire TV, Android, Android TV, and iOS. FaithNFreedom can also be watched for free at faithnfreedom.social/watch.
