The OG Network launches streaming platform with FAST Channels TV

April 14, 2026

The OG Network has officially launched a next-generation Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV (FAST) platform in partnership with FAST Channels TV, delivering a curated streaming experience dedicated to the legacy and future of urban culture.

Founded by Courtney ‘Big Court’ Richardson II and co-led by entertainment icon Ice-T, The OG Network brings together classic urban films, influential television, cultural documentaries, and original programming into a single, accessible platform. The service is designed to amplify Black storytelling while expanding ownership and control of content distribution.

Powered by FAST Channels TV’s white-label streaming technology, the platform includes FAST linear channels, an extensive AVoD library, and multi-device apps across major connected TV and digital platforms.

“The goal is bigger than launching another platform—it’s about building infrastructure where culture is owned and preserved,” said Richardson.

Ice-T added, “OG Network is about changing the equation—giving creators a place where their stories live on their own terms.”

The launch marks a significant step toward expanding access to culturally relevant programming while creating new distribution opportunities for creators worldwide.
