Sabio launches Creator Television FAST channel on TCLtv+ ahead of creator-led poker debut
The distribution expansion brings the Creator Poker Championship to a wider North American audience through TCL’s free streaming platform.
Sabio Holdings has launched its Creator Television FAST channel on TCLtv+, expanding distribution for the creator-led network ahead of its first poker-focused broadcast produced in partnership with the World Poker Tour.
Creator Television is now available on TCLtv+, the free streaming service offered across North America by TCL.
The launch increases reach for the network’s programming slate, which combines social media-driven formats with long-form television distribution.
The move also provides a new platform for Creator Television’s entry into sports and gaming content through poker.
A central component of the launch is the upcoming Creator Poker Championship, which will air on December 18 at 8:00 PM ET.
The tournament is co-produced with the World Poker Tour and features a lineup of social media creators including King Bach, Wengie, Daphnique Springs, Evelyn Gonzalez, Billy Love and Soy.
The event blends competitive poker with creator-led presentation and is positioned as a crossover between traditional poker broadcasting and influencer-driven entertainment.
Joe Ochoa, Co-Founder and GM of Creator Television, said: “We are thrilled to launch Creator TV alongside TCLtv+’s dynamic lineup of entertainment.”
Ochoa added: “Our creator-led titles will bring a unique viewing experience to their viewers.”
The Creator Poker Championship marks Creator Television’s first dedicated move into poker and gaming content.
The tournament will be streamed across multiple platforms, including FAST services and World Poker Tour digital channels, providing exposure to both established poker audiences and creator fan bases.
Catherine Zhang, VP, Content Service & Partnership at TCL, said: “TCLtv+ is proud to support creator-led content reflecting the evolving landscape of modern entertainment.”
Zhang added that integrating creator-driven formats strengthens the platform’s overall programming mix.
Charlie Ibarra, Co-Founder and Head of Content at Creator Television, said: “We believe social media creators and their unique vision will fuel the next wave of programming on TV.”
Ibarra added that poker offers a format well-suited to creator-led storytelling and audience engagement.
In October 2025, Creator Television and the World Poker Tour announced plans to co-produce the Creator Poker Championship, marking the network’s entry into sports and gaming programming.
The collaboration forms part of WPT’s broader expansion strategy, which has included international partnerships in markets such as India and Ireland as the tour continues to diversify its global poker footprint.
