In another expansion of its secular streaming platform, the Freedom From Religion Foundation has announced that Freethought TV is now available on LG smart TVs.
With such televisions making up an estimated 22 percent share of the U.S. television market, the move makes Freethought TV streamable on about 27 million additional TVs. Designed for smart TVs, streaming sticks and mobile devices, Freethought TV provides on-demand access to the latest FFRF programming alongside an expansive archive of hundreds of classic episodes produced in-house and at national conventions. The platform offers a dynamic mix of informative, inspiring and entertaining content aimed at freethinkers, skeptics, state/church separation advocates and anyone curious about secular perspectives.
“We’re very happy to be introducing this free secular programming to so many millions of additional U.S. households,” says Dan Barker, FFRF co-president. “As the airwaves become more and more dominated by Christian nationalist propaganda, we’re hoping that Freethought TV will be a beacon of secular clarity and reason.”
Freethought TV features new FFRF series, such as “Secular Spotlight” and “Freethought Radio In Studio,” as well as complete seasons of classic FFRF shows like “Freethought Matters” and “Ask an Atheist.” The channel also spotlights speeches by major figures, authors and activists from FFRF national conventions and musical and seasonal specials. FFRF recently announced that it has transferred its entire 600-video archive of material to Freethought TV.
In addition to LG webOS TVs, the Freethought TV app is also available on Roku, Samsung Smart TV, Google TV, Fire TV, Android TV and Android smartphones. Versions of Freethought TV for AppleTV and iPhones will be announced soon. For step-by-step instructions on installing the streaming app on your device, visit freethoughttv.ffrf.org.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation is a U.S.-based nonprofit dedicated to defending the constitutional principle of separation between state and church and educating the public on matters relating to nontheism. With about 42,000 members, FFRF is the largest association of freethinkers (atheists, agnostics and humanists) in North America. For more information, visit ffrf.org.
