Insights
Cineverse expands FAST channel portfolio with history-focused HISTORIAN, building on existing successful partnership with LG Channels.
Cineverse's launch of the HISTORIAN FAST channel represents a strategic expansion of its streaming portfolio through a dual partnership with American Public Television (content provider) and LG Channels (distribution platform). This follows the established pattern of Cineverse's business model: leveraging specialized content libraries to create targeted FAST channels that can generate advertising revenue without significant production costs.
The reference to The Bob Ross Channel as "one of the most popular in the country" provides important context - Cineverse is replicating a successful formula by creating another specialized channel with American Public Television. History content typically attracts dedicated viewership with favorable demographics for advertisers, particularly given the educational and documentary nature of the programming.
Strategically, this launch strengthens Cineverse's relationship with LG Channels, building on their previous partnership that brought the Yu-Gi-Oh! channel to market last year. LG Channels' reach across smart TVs from 2016-present provides immediate scale for the new offering. The company now has at least 8 branded channels on LG's platform, indicating a significant distribution relationship.
For Cineverse, this represents incremental revenue potential through advertising while requiring minimal new investment, consistent with the asset-light approach favored in streaming. The themed programming structure (Craftsman's Fridays, etc.) suggests a calculated approach to maintaining viewer engagement and creating advertising opportunities around special events and commemorations.
LG Channels is First FAST Platform Partner
The HISTORIAN FAST channel will feature a captivating lineup of insightful documentaries on topics ranging from war to art, politics to sports, pop culture to travel, and more, allowing viewers to journey back in time and discover fresh perspectives.

The HISTORIAN launch extends Cineverse's partnership with LG Channels, highlighted by the launch last year of the Yu-Gi-Oh!

"We are thrilled to continue our partnership with LG and make LG Channels the first platform to carry the HISTORIAN FAST channel from American Public Television," said John Stack, Cineverse Executive Director, Business Development. "Whether you are a history buff or a casual fan, HISTORIAN will have something for you, allowing you to immerse yourself in different moments in time across genres and watch history unfold."
This is the newest FAST channel to launch in partnership with Cineverse and APT, following their success with The Bob Ross Channel — one of the most popular in the country.
"Our history collection is so popular with viewers that it made perfect sense to curate it into an exciting new history-themed FAST channel," said Judy Barlow, Executive VP Growth at American Public Television. "We had a strong partnership with Cineverse from The Bob Ross Channel and are delighted to be working with them again to bring HISTORIAN to life."
HISTORIAN viewers can enjoy regular, year-round programming stunts with evergreen content, such as Craftsman's Fridays, Historically Accurate and Traveling Thursday. The channel will also honor a selection of dedicated months, holidays and iconic days in history with special programming, including Patriots Day (Sept. 11), Indigenous Peoples' Day (Oct. 13), Remember the Fallen/Veterans Day (Nov. 11), and Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day (Dec. 7) to close out the calendar year.
