Discover Engaging Content on Substack TV: A New Way to Watch Your Favorite Creators
Introducing the Substack TV app for Apple TV and Google TV, where subscribers can enjoy thought-provoking videos and livestreams from their favorite creators. Whether it's Dolly Parton sharing her showbiz journey, George Saunders reading from his book, or Tina Brown interviewing leading figures in news and culture, the Substack TV app provides a platform for extended viewing of engaging content. Creators who already produce video content will have their videos automatically accessible to subscribers using the TV app.
The focus of the initial version of the TV app is on delivering reliable, high-quality viewing experiences, with plans to introduce more features in the future based on user feedback. Subscribers, both free and paid, can sign in to the TV app and start watching content based on their subscription level. While paid content previews for free subscribers are not yet supported, this feature is expected to be added in a future update.
Veteran journalist Jim Acosta, who hosts a daily news show on Substack's live video feature, expressed excitement about the platform's expansion to television, calling it a game-changing moment for independent media. As the TV app evolves, more features will be added to enhance the viewing experience, including support for additional functionalities like search and notifications.
To determine if your TV is compatible with the Substack TV app, check the system or specifications settings on your device. While some familiar Substack features may not be available in the current version of the TV app, ongoing updates will introduce new capabilities to improve the overall user experience. Creators are encouraged to inform their subscribers about the availability of their content on Substack TV and provide feedback on how the platform can be further enhanced.
