Vizio ads AVOD content to WatchFree+ streamer

Vizio has announced an expansion to its WatchFree+ free streaming service to now include AVOD content.

SmartCast TV users can now access thousands of on demand titles to complement the platform’s existing portfolio of live streaming channels. WatchFree+ will offer more than 4,000 free movies, TV shows, and Vizio exclusives from more than 17 content distributors including Disney Media & Entertainment Distribution, Lionsgate and Samuel Goldwyn.

Mike O’Donnell, Chief Revenue Officer at Vizio, said: “Today’s audiences want quality on demand movies and TV shows on their own terms. Vizio’s AVOD offering gives SmartCast users an extensive catalog of free programming for them to enjoy whenever they want, all with easy search and discovery capabilities.

“With the evolution of WatchFree+ on demand programming, SmartCast users can now browse through hundreds of shows and movies to watch at any time, for free, and without any subscriptions or logins required.”
