The OG Network Launches FAST Streaming Platform Celebrating Urban Culture with FAST Channels TV
LA, USA / Toronto, Canada Tuesday 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.
