CCC MK HOLDINGS Co., Ltd. (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Yasunori Takahashi) has concluded a basic agreement with BBM Inc. (Head office: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Shinya Fukuzaki), a product development company, to participate in the consortium-based service "FAST Channel"*1, which is provided to various businesses.

"FAST Channel" is a service that allows users to easily join "FAST (Free Ad-supported Streaming Television)," which is making its first appearance in Japan. "FAST" is a free video streaming service with ads that is currently experiencing rapid growth, particularly in the United States. When you select your favorite channel on any device with an internet connection, such as a smartphone, tablet, or smart TV, the program will be automatically streamed to you. This eliminates the need to select content each time, as with traditional VOD services, and allows you to easily enjoy programs of your favorite genres for free, just like a TV program.

CCC MK HOLDINGS will participate in the consortium service "FAST Channel" centered on BBM. BBM plans to launch a free video streaming app called "(tentative name) V FAST ch" this winter, which will allow users to earn V POINT just by watching programs and enjoy great deals.
"(Tentative name) V FAST ch" will be an app for smart TVs and smartphones that will be available 24 hours a day, and is considering streaming entertainment and food content from YouTube, as well as programs on camping, cooking, travel, kids, wellness, period dramas, Korean dramas, pets, business, and more.

Details of "(tentative name) V FAST ch" will be announced as soon as the service content is confirmed.

Through this collaboration with BBM, CCC MK HOLDINGS aims to provide a service that will be loved by many customers across Japan by offering V members the benefit of earning V POINT, as well as a viewing experience that allows them to simultaneously experience the excitement, thrills, and emotions that entertainment provides.
