“We are thrilled to join the VIZIO family, particularly at a time when we are continuing to grow our viewership and channel content at a rapid pace,” said Navdeep Saini, co-founder, and CEO of DistroScale, the parent company of DistroTV.

“By expanding our distribution via VIZIO Smart TVs, we can continue to provide audiences with the content they crave, and all while maintaining our FAST no-sign up, credit card or email required model,” he added.

Vikas Khanchandani, Country Head India at DistroScale, said in a statement that “US has more than 87 percent homes with at least one Connected TV and other western countries are seeing scale as well. Vizio is one of the largest CTV players in the US market and brings access to a large viewership base within Vizio for Indian content owners”.

FAST (Free Ad Supported Television)is bringing the lean-back linear experience for users on Television and is solving for content discovery with sharper defined cohorts. The distro is focussed on building a very strong South Asian bouquet of content for the diaspora audiences across the world and bring in the ad monetization through its vast global advertising footprint,” added Khanchandani, who till sometime back was the chief executive of India’s Republic Media Networks.
