The announcement:
One channel just isn’t enough for Ticker, so today The Ticker Company is launching five new Free Ad Supported TV channels (FAST) to complement the Ticker News channel.
The new channels focus on money, documentaries, cooking, active, and Ticker’s exclusive insight interviews.
Ticker Money covers personal finance and market news. With hosts Chris Judd and Genevieve Day’s new program Ticker Talks Trends, plus a new show called Ticker Talks Growth, hosted by Bae Juice founders Tim O’Sullivan and Liam Gostencnik.

Ticker Docos brings the best of Ticker’s Original documentaries to a whole new channel, bringing insightful topics to viewers around the clock.
Ticker Insight focuses on thought leadership, bringing the best of business and industry together to discuss the biggest issues of our time.
The new channels are part of a brand new Ticker app, which launched today on Google Play and Apple TV, and coming soon to Samsung TVs and Comcast in the United States. The app features Ticker’s FAST channels, as well as Ticker’s VOD content.
Ticker is now a multi-channel ecosystem that speaks to the next generation of leaders and professionals, available across apps, connected TVs and through Ticker’s global streaming partners.
The Ticker News Channel continues to stream with Ticker’s global syndication partners, including FetchTV, Flash News and TelstraTV in Australia, SlingTV and FuboTV in the United States, RakutenTV and SamsungTV+ across Europe, the UK and Japan, Zee5 in India and connected TVs anywhere.
The Ticker Company CEO Ahron Young says: “This is a defining moment for team Ticker. Never content with just one channel, we know our viewers are urban professionals making key life choices and looking for content that is designed for them.”
“News is always in our DNA, but as we learned more about our audience we found that there’s an opportunity to create one place that delivers news, money, tech and lifestyle – tailored to them. This is Ticker 3.0,” Ahron says.
Ticker is launching ten new series over coming weeks which will air across the FAST channels. They will also be streamed on the Ticker News Channel on weekends.
The Ticker Company chief operating officer Jed Bertalli says: “It’s been a huge effort by our entire team to launch these new channels, build new apps, relaunch our website, and create new shows and content with our fantastic new hosts. The Ticker App gives our viewers free access to the stories and tips that help them in their every day lives.”
Ticker has recently appointed Jason Cadd as chief sales officer, working with brands and businesses to get the message out to a global audience.
Ticker’s chief sales officer Jason Cadd says: “Ticker is the destination for businesses looking to engage a precise and captivated audience. Ticker’s average audience age is 39, so they’re looking for something completely different. They’re living in the city, often working from home, using multiple devices and have no idea what a TV aerial is.”
The Ticker App is available for download now on Apple TV. Google Play and iOS.
