New York Post launches FAST channel on Amazon Fire TV

The New York Post has expanded its streaming distribution with the launch of a free, ad-supported television channel on Amazon’s Fire TV Channels platform, bringing its news, sports and entertainment programming to connected television viewers.

The New York Post FAST Channel features programming from across the company’s media portfolio, including daily shows focused on celebrity news and sports commentary.

VideoElephant operates the channel, providing distribution support as the newspaper company expands its presence in the free ad-supported streaming television, or FAST, market.

Among the channel’s featured programs is “Page Six Radio,” a morning entertainment show hosted by Danny Murphy and Evan Real. The program covers celebrity news, exclusive reporting and entertainment industry developments, along with interviews and appearances by celebrity guests.

The lineup also includes “Schein Time,” a daily sports discussion program hosted by Adam Schein that examines major developments and debates across professional sports.

The launch gives the New York Post another distribution outlet beyond its newspaper, websites and existing digital video platforms, while creating additional opportunities to monetize its programming through connected television advertising.

The company says its digital properties attract nearly 88 million unique visitors monthly, with approximately 90% of that audience located outside the New York metropolitan area.

That national reach provides a potential audience for the FAST channel as the company looks to extend its established editorial brands into streaming television.

Sean Giancola, publisher and CEO of The New York Post Media Group, said the launch creates another way for audiences to access the company’s programming while opening new advertising opportunities.

Preeya Naul, senior vice president of streaming partnerships and supply at VideoElephant, pointed to the New York Post’s established brand and programming library as assets for building an audience in the FAST market.

The expansion comes amid continued growth in free streaming television consumption.

According to Comscore, viewing hours on U.S. FAST services increased 43% year over year through August 2025, reaching 1.8 billion hours.

Research firm eMarketer estimates that the number of U.S. FAST viewers will reach 131 million in 2026, representing approximately 54% of connected television users.

The firm also projects that U.S. connected television advertising spending will reach $38 billion in 2026, reflecting the growing importance of streaming platforms to advertisers and media companies.

For traditional publishers such as the New York Post, FAST channels offer an opportunity to repurpose existing video programming into scheduled television-style feeds while generating advertising revenue without requiring viewers to purchase subscriptions.

The New York Post FAST Channel is available through Amazon’s Fire TV Channels, which offers free streaming programming across news, sports, entertainment and other categories.
