Mech TV Limited announces today the launch of its Mech+ FAST Channel in the UK on Samsung TV Plus, the free TV platform for Samsung TV, mobile and tablet owners.

The channel offers audiences 24/7 access to 10 seasons and over 160 episodes of the iconic Robot Wars, remastered in HD.

Robot Wars is the hugely popular robot combat competition series that sees amateur and professional roboteers clash with destructive remote-controlled robots in a steel arena patrolled by the legendary “House Robots” including Sir Killalot, Matilda and Dead Metal who keep the competitors in check.

Other titles on the channel will include spectacular Olympic-style robot competition Techno Games, automotive reality show Car Warriors and Rescue Robots, a children’s show featuring robots performing explorative missions.

Launched less than a year ago on Web, iOS and Android, Mech+ is dedicated to bringing viewers the best in science, engineering, and robotics content. This first launch on to FAST is a huge milestone and endorsement of the appeal of the channel.

Tom Burton, Senior Sales Manager, Mech+, said ‘We’re very excited to be working with Samsung TV Plus. Mech+ has been a massive hit since we launched last year and we’re continuing to build a highly engaged audience. Our expansion into FAST is a continued example of our ambition to meet the needs of our constantly evolving audience, providing the viewers with exactly what they want to watch around the clock and free of charge’.    

Samsung TV Plus is the free ad-supported video service available in the UK and 15 other European territories where viewers can watch thousands of movies and TV shows, live and on demand with no strings attached.
