Free TV Networks To Launch New Over-The-Air Channel

Free TV Networks (FTN), a new company serving value-conscious consumers with a portfolio of national ad-supported over-the-air networks and FAST channels, today announced that it will launch a third national broadcast network called Dare featuring popular unscripted series from the library of A+E Networks. The new network will include many hit series including American Pickers, Storage Wars, Pawn Stars, Alone, Swamp People, Counting Cars, and Ax Men to name a few. Dare, which will debut in more than 80% of the U.S. on July 1 and challenge viewers to “Dare To Defy,” marks the third broadcast network for FTN following the launches on Jan. 1 of The365 and Outlaw. The new network was announced today by Jonathan Katz, president-CEO, Free TV Networks.

“We are thrilled to partner with A+E Networks and offer value-conscious consumers a differentiated and world-class reality channel delivered for free, over-the-air,” Katz said. “All of Dare’s unscripted and popular programming has been proven to deliver a growing audience of scale for advertisers. With our first two networks already exceeding initial viewership and revenue expectations, Dare moves us closer to becoming the country’s leading independent owner and operator of premium, digital broadcast networks.”
