Sports programming surges on FAST channels, Gracenote finds

The Measure’s Jon Lafayette reports that Gracenote’s Q3 Data Hub found sports games on FAST channels up 37.5% year over year, with unique titles up 31.2%. Sports also spread beyond dedicated channels, appearing on 20 non-sports FAST channels in July, mirroring linear TV’s pattern.

Why it matters. Advertisers seeking sports reach can now find inventory scattered across general-interest FAST channels, not just dedicated sports tiles.
