Every year, the list of reasons to cut the cord grows longer. Traditional cable isn't quite dead yet, but at this point, it's only a matter of time before everyone moves on. The latest reason to join the legion of cord-cutters comes from Google. Protocol reports that Google plans to add live TV channels to its Google TV platform for free in the coming months.
For the uninitiated, Google TV is the successor to Android TV. The Android-based platform powers a number of smart TVs as well as Google's own Chromecast streaming devices. Sources tell Protocol that Google has had discussions with companies that distribute FAST (free, ad-supported streaming television) channels. FAST channels look like traditional linear TV channels. They even have ad breaks between shows and on-screen graphics promoting upcoming content.
