In Depth with Graham Bensinger is taking its brand of long-form interviews to new audiences with the launch of its first dedicated FAST channel. The interview series featuring intimate conversations with sports and entertainment icons announced that the new offering debuted on Amazon Prime Video earlier this month as well on Samsung TV Plus. The announcement states there will be plans to roll out on additional streaming platforms this fall.
“I’m motivated by our show’s continued growth, including reaching 1 billion watch time minutes over the last 365 days,” said Bensinger, who serves as host and owner. “I’m eager to deliver exceptional content for our FAST channel partners and bring our unique interview format to even more viewers who appreciate in-depth conversations with fascinating personalities.”
The expansion represents a major milestone for the independent company. Launching a FAST channel built around a single property highlights the growing demand for Bensinger’s interview content he’s been producing for the last 15 years.
The channel will feature a mix of content designed to appeal to both longtime fans and new viewers. That includes full-length interviews that often run between 90 minutes and three hours, complete 30-minute episodes, and shorter viral highlight clips.
At launch, more than 150 hours of programming were made available, curated to provide exclusive material for sports and entertainment enthusiasts.
In Depth is also using the FAST channel to tie its programming strategy to major cultural moments. Among the promotional stunts planned are Serving Tennis timed to the U.S. Open, Inside the Huddle to coincide with the NFL season kickoff, and And the Winner Is around the Emmy Awards. Those themed blocks will complement the release of new episodes throughout the fall months.
High-profile guests are also lined up for the show’s upcoming season, including NFL star T.J. Watt, comedian and television personality Howie Mandel, and Under Armour founder Kevin Plank. Full-length interviews with new guests will air on Saturday nights during their respective debut weeks.
Now entering its 16th season, In Depth has earned credibility by offering a platform for guests to go beyond surface-level conversation. The show’s format has proven attractive to A-list figures who value the preparation and authenticity that have become its hallmark.
