Colin Petrie-Norris kickstarted a new model of free, ad-supported television through his company Xumo before its reported $100 million-plus sale to Comcast. Now, in the era of AI, he’s aiming to reclaim the model with a FAST channel devoted to AI-generated content. Fairground Entertainment, Petrie-Norris’ AI studio and distribution platform, is debuting a dedicated FAST channel to what he proclaims is the first to exclusively showcase AI shows and films. (Petrie-Norris would not disclose which platforms are distributing the channel, but promised they’re “the biggest.”) The startup has since grown to 13 employees, and Petrie-Norris hopes the channel marks a new wave of distribution — and, ideally, support — for AI-generated material.
