The TellyCast Digital Video Awards are expanding for 2024 with the introduction of a new FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV) Channel category. Reflecting the rapid rise of FAST platforms as a major player in the digital-first content landscape, the category will recognise excellence and innovation in FAST channel programming, strategy, and performance.

With audiences increasingly embracing FAST as part of their viewing habits, this move highlights its growing influence across the media and digital content production sectors. From original content creation to programming strategies that drive engagement and revenue, the category will shine a spotlight on the trailblazers shaping the future of FAST.

Justin Crosby, founder of TellyCast, said: “FAST channels are redefining how many viewers consume content and creating new opportunities for broadcasters, production companies, distributors, IP owners and digital-first creators. The new category reflects the phenomenal growth of this space and celebrates the talent and creativity driving FAST’s success. We’re excited to feature a FAST award alongside our other 23 categories.”

The TellyCast Digital Video Awards will shine a spotlight on the most creative, groundbreaking, and impactful digital video content from creators, brands, publishers and production companies.

Judged by the leaders in the sector, they will recognise the trailblazers who are redefining storytelling through social and digital media platforms.
