New channels bring anime franchises and hit Asian entertainment to TCLtv+ as demand for free global streaming continues to rise
FULLERTON, Calif., May 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — ODK Media, the global media company behind a portfolio of international streaming platforms, today announced the expansion of Amasian TV on TCLtv+ with the launch of two new free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channels: Anime 24/7 and Amasian TV Movies & More.
Debuting in early May to coincide with Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the channels will be available on TCLtv+, TCL’s streaming platform, further extending Amasian TV’s reach across connected TV and meeting growing demand for free, high-quality global entertainment.
Designed to reflect how audiences watch today, the two channels offer distinct, complementary viewing experiences:
- Anime 24/7: A dedicated, always-on destination for anime fans, featuring globally recognized franchises such as Demon Slayer and Fullmetal Alchemist, alongside serialized storytelling and themed programming blocks that encourage daily, habitual viewing.
- Amasian TV Movies & More: A curated movie channel featuring a diverse lineup of Asian films—from acclaimed titles like Burning and Better Days to action hits such as the Ip Man franchise—designed for shared, cinematic viewing and discovery.
Together, the channels create a dual viewing experience that blends binge-worthy series with lean-back, co-viewing content, driving longer engagement, repeat sessions, and deeper audience connection.
The launch reflects a broader shift in streaming, as audiences increasingly turn to free, ad-supported platforms that offer recognizable, high-quality content without subscription barriers. With a library built around globally popular IPs, including award-winning films and major anime franchises, Amasian TV is positioned to deliver a differentiated FAST experience beyond traditional catalog-driven offerings.
As one of the top two best-selling TV brands in the U.S., TCL® offers a significant opportunity to broaden reach and introduce Amasian TV’s premium content to new audiences through connected TV, enabling greater discovery and accessibility at scale.
Catherine Zhang, VP of Content Service and Partnership at TCL, said, “At TCLtv+, we are committed to delivering diverse and engaging entertainment experiences to our viewers. The addition of Amasian TV Movies & More and Amasian TV Anime 24/7 brings exciting Asian storytelling, iconic anime titles, and fresh cultural perspectives that resonate strongly with today’s streaming audiences.”
“Our partnership with TCLtv+ allows us to bring high-quality, globally relevant content directly to audiences in a way that’s seamless and accessible,” said Peter Park, CSO & CPO of ODK Media. “Together, we’re expanding how viewers discover and engage with premium entertainment, delivering free, curated experiences that reflect how people watch today.”
As FAST continues to reshape the streaming landscape, ODK Media remains focused on building scalable, content-driven channel experiences that connect global stories with mainstream audiences across leading platforms like TCLtv+.
