**Mountain View, CA -** Google has revamped its free TV channel service, previously known as “Google TV Fast Channels,” with a new app experience called “Freeplay.” This rebranding comes with a host of improvements, including a dedicated Favorites section for easy access to preferred channels, an updated channel selection screen, and improved sorting options within the full guide.

The new Freeplay app offers a more intuitive and engaging interface, addressing previous criticisms of its limited functionality and cumbersome navigation. Users can now easily browse channels by genre, popularity, and recent viewing history.

The growing list of free channels remains accessible via the Freeplay shortcut on the home screen, alongside paid channels available on YouTube TV through the Live tab. While the rollout of the new app experience is ongoing, some users have reported inconsistencies with the branding and functionality. However, Google is expected to iron out these issues as the rollout progresses.

This move by Google signifies a continued focus on expanding its free TV channel offerings and improving the overall user experience on Google TV.
