Samsung TV Plus has been rolled out in a number of markets globally for some time, and in the case of the US boasts more than 100 channels. In Australia it currently supports a modest 30 channels, including Bloomberg TV+, Fuel TV, Made In Hollywood, Timeline, Wonder, Horse and Country, Gusto TV and more.
