AI Startup Fairground, Founded by Xumo Creator, to Launch First AI-Exclusive FAST Channel (EXCLUSIVE)

Variety · 4 hours ago

Fairground Entertainment, an AI studio founded by Xumo creator Colin Petrie-Norris, plans to launch what it describes as the first free, ad-supported streaming television channel exclusively for AI-generated films and shows. The move matters because it seeks to give AI creators a curated, large-screen distribution route beyond short social-media clips and traditional industry gatekeepers.

Called Fairground AI Creator TV, the 24-hour channel is due to launch next month across five undisclosed major TV and FAST platforms. Its programming will include work from creators such as Kelly Boesch, Phantom X Studio, Ryan Phillips, Wonder Studios and Massive Studios, scheduled in traditional primetime and seasonal slots; Fairground has grown from five to 13 employees since launching last year with a $4 million seed round.

  • Fairground will launch an AI-only free streaming television channel next month.
  • The channel will carry a curated 24-hour schedule of AI-made programmes.
  • Its founder sees it as a new distribution route for emerging creators.
