AI Studio Fairground to Debut First All-AI FAST Television Channel

Colin Petrie-Norris, who previously built the free, ad-supported streaming model at Xumo before its sale to Comcast, is now launching Fairground AI Creator TV, the first FAST channel devoted solely to AI-produced programming. The service will be available around the clock on five leading TV and FAST platforms, though the specific distributors remain unnamed. A roster of AI creators—including Kelly Boesch, Phantom X Studio, Ryan Phillips, Wonder Studios and Massive Studios—will supply original series and films curated by Petrie-Norris’s team.

Programming will mimic conventional television with scheduled primetime slots and occasional holiday-themed events. Petrie-Norris says the channel blends cutting-edge AI technology with familiar viewing habits to give new creators a “voice” and reach large audiences without traditional gatekeepers. The venture follows Fairground Entertainment’s growth from a five-person seed-stage startup to a 13-employee company backed by a $4 million seed round.
