Cineverse launches Mohr Stories FAST channel

Cineverse has introduced Mohr Stories, a free ad-supported streaming television channel featuring comedian Jay Mohr, as part of LG Electronics and LG Ad Solutions’ 2026 IAB NewFronts presentation.

The channel will stream exclusively on LG Channels, extending the reach of the long-running podcast into a continuous video format aimed at connected TV audiences.

Expanding podcast content into streaming

Mohr Stories builds on the success of the podcast, which launched in 2012 and has grown across both audio and video platforms. The new FAST channel will feature weekly episodes alongside a continuous stream of interviews and conversations with guests from across entertainment, sports, and culture.

The podcast will continue to be distributed through the WITZ Podcast Network, a collaboration between Cineverse and The Stand Group.

Leveraging demand for video podcasts

The move reflects broader shifts in podcast consumption, with audiences increasingly engaging with video formats on streaming and social platforms. Cineverse positions the channel as a way to bring conversational content to larger screens and reach new audiences through ad-supported distribution.

Jay Mohr, host, Mohr Stories: "We are beyond pumped to officially join the LG family. To think that Mohr Stories now lives as one of LG's FAST channels 24/7 is incredible—it's like my podcast finally moved into a penthouse with a better view. A massive thank you to the team at the Witz Podcast Network and Cineverse. They didn't just believe in the show; they went out and found a way to put my face and these stories in front of a massive new audience. We're taking the conversation to the big screen, and I couldn't be more grateful to have such a powerhouse team behind me."

Broad guest lineup and ongoing growth

The show features a wide range of guests, including comedians, actors, musicians, athletes, and public figures, reinforcing its broad appeal. Recent growth includes increased consumption following the introduction of video formats, with both viewing hours and downloads rising.

Positioning FAST as a distribution channel

With the launch of Mohr Stories as a FAST channel, Cineverse continues to expand its presence in ad-supported streaming, using established podcast brands to build always-on content offerings. The initiative reflects ongoing convergence between podcasting and television-style distribution.
