Samsung TV Plus first launched in December 2016 in the U.S. and comes pre-installed on all 2016-2020 Samsung smart TVs.
Late last year, the company said millions of consumers were using Samsung TV Plus and that it’s one of the top OTT services on Samsung’s smart TV platform. The free streaming service provides access to 135 channels.
