Rotten Tomatoes isn’t just about compiling reviews on the latest TV shows and movies anymore, it now has its very own OTT channel, The Rotten Tomatoes Channel, that debuted earlier in 2021, and has just announced that it is launching on the Samsung TV Plus ad-supported video service (AVOD).
The Rotten Tomatoes Channel is an OTT channel that features 24/7 linear programming, including more than a dozen originally produced shows and nearly 200 hours of long and short-form video content, like interviews with big-name celebrities. In addition to Samsung TV Plus, The Rotten Tomatoes Channel is available on Peacock, The Roku Channel, Xumo TV and more.
