New FSTV Schedule Starts Today – See What’s New!

Hi FSTV Family,

We’ve got some exciting news to share with you!

You spoke, we listened—and we’re rolling out a brand-new programming schedule starting Monday, April 28, to bring you even more of the shows you love, when you want them most.

But first, the question of the week: Who’s Replacing Randi Rhodes?
After years of raising hell and telling it like it is, Randi hung up the mic last week. But don’t worry—you’re in good hands. Meet your new 3 o’clock voice: Rick Smith! 

Rick has been a favorite on FSTV for many years, and now he’s taking the afternoon slot to carry the torch forward. Same time, same fight - working class truth, every weekday at 3 pm ET.

Want to keep up with Randi Rhodes? Follow her on Substack. 

Now, what’s new?
The most awaited addition to the lineup is live news from Al Jazeera English. Get caught up on the day’s world news every evening on FSTV at 5:30 pm and 7 pm ET.

We’re also launching a daily show with a new favorite, Sam Sacks of Means TV. Join Sam Tuesday-Friday at 4 pm ET for Means Midday News. Looking to laugh a little in the face of the current state of things? Sam’s got you covered (starting May 6!).

And finally, by popular demand…Thom Hartmann is joining the evening lineup!
We’ve heard from many folks over the years that they love Thom, but it’s hard to catch him during working hours. Last year, we launched Thom’s episodes on demand so you could watch his daily program on your schedule. And you can still do that anywhere you stream FSTV. But we know there are a lot of you who watch FSTV on Dish, DirecTV, and public access stations around the country. So this is for YOU!

You’ll now be able to catch Thom Hartmann every weeknight at 9 pm ET— by popular demand, evening replays are officially on the schedule! 

Check Out the New Weekly Lineup
We’ve fine-tuned the whole week to spotlight your favorite hosts and shows with fresh new time slots and replays to make catching your favorites easier than ever. 

Thanks for being the heartbeat of FSTV. We’re here because of you—and we’re proud to keep building this independent media community, together.

In solidarity,

The FSTV Team
