ATLANTA, GA – March 24, 2026 – Free TV Networks (FTV), a division of VERSANT (Nasdaq: VSNT), today announced expanded distribution of its FAST Channel PAM GRIER’S SOUL FLIX through a new carriage deal with Prime Video.
The launch on Prime Video builds on Free TV Networks’ expansion onto CBS Owned & Operated Stations in 16 major markets for its over-the-air networks 365BLK and OUTLAW, as well as the launch of PAM GRIER’S SOUL FLIX on Sling Freestream. Collectively, the three agreements increase Free TV Networks’ national footprint across the FAST and digital broadcast marketplace, strengthening the company’s ad-supported growth strategy.
“We are thrilled for the launch of PAM GRIER’S SOUL FLIX on Prime Video, continuing the new distribution momentum Versant has brought to Free TV Networks,” said Jonathan Katz, President of Free TV Networks. “Extending our presence across broadcast and streaming platforms ensures our culturally distinct brands connect with audiences wherever they choose to watch. Our expansion to Prime Video is a natural extension of that approach.”
“Distribution is a primary driver of scale in the FAST ecosystem,” said David Pietrycha, Chief Revenue and Business Officer of VERSANT. “Securing three high-impact agreements in recent months reflects the growing demand for premium, free ad-supported content. Expanding onto Prime Video further strengthens our national reach and reinforces our diversified portfolio.”
PAM GRIER’S SOUL FLIX is the FAST channel dedicated to the icons and trailblazers of Black cinema, curated by Pam Grier, the legendary actress and activist whose career includes defining roles in Foxy Brown and Coffy.
“It fills my heart to see audiences embrace PAM GRIER’S SOUL FLIX,” Grier said. “This channel was created to honor the powerful artists, fierce characters and dynamic stories that shaped and continue to empower our community. I’m grateful to share this legacy with longtime fans and new viewers alike and am excited to welcome more audiences to the SOUL FLIX family.”
PAM GRIER’S SOUL FLIX is now available to stream on Prime Video by accessing “Live TV” through the main menu within the platform.
