Shorts TV
USA
Shorts TV ist ein Sender, der kurze Filme und Videos von unabhängigen Kreativen sowie etablierten Studios ausstrahlt, mit Schwerpunkt auf Genres wie Komödie, Drama, Animation und Dokumentation. Das Programm besteht aus eigenständigen Beiträgen, die in der Regel unter 20 Minuten lang sind und oft von Filmfestivals und Online-Plattformen stammen. In den Vereinigten Staaten bietet der Sender Raum für Geschichten, die nicht in die traditionellen halbstündigen oder einstündigen Fernsehformate passen. Die Zuschauer könnten auf einen stummen Animationskurzfilm stoßen, gefolgt von einem live-action erzählenden Stück – ohne wiederkehrende Moderatoren oder Serienbögen, die die Segmente miteinander verbinden.
Der Sendeplan des Kanals wechselt zwischen thematischen Blöcken, wie etwa Horror-Kurzfilmen im Oktober oder romantischen Komödien im Februar, hält jedoch keine feste Aufstellung eigener Serien vor. Online-Streaming ist über ausgewählte Kabelanbieter-Apps sowie einige werbefinanzierte Plattformen verfügbar, wobei die genaue Verfügbarkeit je nach Region und Anbieter variiert.
