Freethought TV launches on Apple TV and iPhone, reaching millions of new viewers
Freethought TV, the Freedom From Religion Foundation’s free secular streaming channel, is now available to more than 150 million iPhone users and 30 million Apple TV owners across the United States. The highly anticipated debut on Apple’s platforms marks a major milestone for Freethought TV, which proudly offers “Free content for free minds.”
“Every time we’ve announced a new platform that carries Freethought TV, the response has often been, ‘Yeah, but when’s it going to be available on Apple?’” says Dan Barker, co-president of FFRF. “Well, that day is finally here — and we couldn’t be more excited. This expansion means our programming, which upholds the separation of religion and government while celebrating freethinkers, can now reach nearly everyone.”
Designed for smart TVs, streaming devices and mobile platforms, Freethought TV delivers a robust lineup of original and archival programming. New series include “Secular Spotlight” and “Freethought Radio In Studio,” alongside full seasons of flagship shows such as “Freethought Matters” and “Ask an Atheist.” The platform also features speeches from FFRF national conventions, showcasing prominent celebrities, authors and activists, as well as musical performances and seasonal specials.
In a major content expansion, FFRF has recently migrated its entire archive of more than 600 videos to Freethought TV, creating a comprehensive hub for secular media and commentary.
Looking ahead, FFRF plans to offer live coverage of key events, including the Congressional Reason Reception — widely recognized as the freethought community’s counterweight to the National Prayer Breakfast.
The Freethought TV app is easy to install and includes user-friendly features such as closed captioning and customizable watchlists. For more information or to download the app, visit freethoughttv.ffrf.org.
