Long-running magazine Popular Science is the basis for a new FAST streaming channel set to be launched by Toronto-based Underknown. The network will be available on FUBO, Plex, Sling Freestream, Vizio, Local Now and other FAST platforms.

The channel will cover rocket launches live and be a broadcasting hub for the series “This Week in Spaceflight” and “Starbase Update” from NASA Spaceflight. Popular Science will also feature content from YouTube science creators, including Hacksmith, Complexly and creations from Underknown, which is behind web brands including “What If,” “How to Survive,” “Animalogic” and “Aperture.”

“We’re thrilled to bring the storied Popular Science magazine to its own TV channel, extending its legacy of reliable storytelling and innovation,” Steve Hulford, Underknown’s CEO and co-founder, said in a statement. “By integrating top science brands from YouTube, TV, and film, we’re creating a place where storytelling meets discovery. With a wealth of partnerships, including with NASA Spaceflight, Hacksmith, and Complexly, we’re ensuring that Popular Science is not just a channel, but a destination for curious fans of science and technology.”

Popular Science is an expansion of the science publication of the same name, which has been around since 1872.

“For more than 150 years, Popular Science magazine has always strived to demystify the world around and ahead of us to make science accessible to everyone,” Annie Colbert, editor in chief of the magazine, said in a statement. “By partnering with Underknown to bring Popular Science to TV screens everywhere, we have an incredible opportunity to present new and exciting content and engage with audiences in a new way. I’m confident that combining the digital TV expertise of Underknown with our brand’s legacy will keep viewers plugged into the incredible science around them every day.”

Recurrent Ventures Inc. owns the Popular Science trademark and is licensing the brand for the new network. FAST channel management company acTVe is handling the launch of the Popular Science channel on platforms and handling the backend tech.

“Underknown’s exceptional content and taste, combined with Popular Science’s renowned brand, created the perfect formula for a premium streaming network,” Geoff Clark, CEO of acTVe, said in a statement.
