Ad-supported streaming has been facing significant popularity over the past months that it was offered by different services and companies, but now, a new company is on its way to offer free ad-supported TV for all. This may seem confusing for now, but most TV programs are bundled under a cable subscription or via online streaming sites, but this is what Teevee Corporation aims to change.
The TV industry may have been defeated by streaming platforms over the past year, but this company wants to revamp the experience for the public and bring back the experience.

Free Ad-supported TVs Coming Soon from Teevee Corporation
Teevee Corporation is being touted as "the biggest thing to happen to TV since color."
The service is set to revolutionize the way people watch TV, providing access to free TV streaming with a wide range of popular channels, a startup from Pluto TV co-founder, Ilya Pozin. The service will also offer a personalized viewing experience and will focus on its floating second screen (the height of a smartphone and stretch across the entire width of the display) that will show advertisements above the TV.
Janko Roettgers's Lowpass Newsletter detailed the service to offer a new level of convenience and affordability to viewers via Telly, a possible name of the service, enabling them to access high-quality TV content without the need for expensive cable subscriptions.
The ad-supported model is not new in the TV industry, but Teevee promises to take it to the next level. The ads on the second screen will be its main source of revenue as it offers its TV streaming for free.

Ad-Supported Free TV for Streaming Dongles, Sticks
As reiterated by Roettgers, Teevee would not offer a smart TV or a television device to users but would be available via popular streaming dongles like Roku and Amazon Fire Stick as bundled experiences.
This means that it will essentially be a streaming platform, but would have a feel of a television, along with the features to browse through channels and access informational widgets.
Ad-Supported Streaming is the Trend Now
Ad-supported streaming is massive now, and this is because companies want more subscribers to join their service without having to pay for the full and premium experience. Some of the companies that already offered this include Disney, YouTube TV, Netflix, and more.
It appeals to those who are not that much into binge-watching but wants a service where they can tap in whenever they feel like streaming.
Teevee Corporation's Telly is a game-changer for the TV industry.
The service promises to offer free, ad-supported TV streaming with a unique second-screen feature that will enhance the viewing experience. The service is expected to be available on popular streaming dongles, making it accessible to a wide range of viewers, with the project still being secretive with its launch and features.
