Shout Factory launches free streaming site
« on: February 05, 2015, 09:55:27 PM »
Distributor Shout Factory (known for appealing to niche classic TV audiences) just today launched a new free streaming site at www.shoutfactorytv.com. Right now there isn't a lot of selection and most of it is available elsewhere, but an article on Vox (and this is what makes it on topic) indirectly quotes a Shout Factory co-founder as saying they want to expand the site to other genres including potentially ours.

The number of MST3K titles Netflix offered kept dwindling over the past year, then vanished.  >:(  Color me pleased.  :D

It's been on Roku for the past few weeks.   Right now, I am slowly working thru "It's Garry Shandling's Show". 

<OB Game Shows> On the first 2 eps alone, there are references to Wheel of Fortune and The New Newlywed Game.

Just found the Roku channel...there's not much just yet (as Tim said, the channel just went up a few weeks ago), but I found Fridays, the sketch comedy series from the early-80s. It's apparently Shout's "Best Of" compilation, so hopefully the episodes won't be as horribly edited as Netflix's SNL collection.

Would love to see the WKRP and Barney Miller sets on this channel eventually.

Now celebrating his 22nd season on GSF!
