Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment launches new streaming channel

Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment Inc. said Nov. 4 that it launched a new free, ad-supported streaming TV channel featuring women's lifestyle content.

The eponymous Chicken Soup for the Soul service will offer content across themes including home, food, style, travel, and reality, as well as TV shows and movies. The channel will also feature content that Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment produced for other TV networks and streaming service Netflix Inc.

Chicken Soup for the Soul will be initially available on Plex, FreeCast and Redbox platforms. LG Channels, Stirr, Xumo LLC and VIZIO Holding Corp.'s free streaming service WatchFree will also carry the channel starting in December.

The Chicken Soup for the Soul service joins Crackle Plus' other free, on-demand offerings that include Crackle, Popcornflix and Truli. It comes ahead of a full ad-supported video-on-demand offering that will be rolled out in the coming weeks.

Chicken Soup for the Soul Entertainment recently created a television group to support the launch of its AVOD streaming service.
