Invincible Entertainment Acquires YTA Broadcast Network

by Emily Nagle

Amidst the streaming wars, Invincible is hitting the airwaves, having just acquired the YTA Broadcast Network.

Launched in 1985 as the Nostalgia Channel, YTA reaches 41 million homes across the United States. Following the acquisition that was completed last month, the channel’s programming will be targeted at “fanboys, nerd culture and gamers.”

“YTA came to us as an opportunity to acquire a traditional over-the-air broadcast TV network,” Invincible CEO Thomas Ashley explained to Broadcasting+Cable. “One of our goals is to increase the distribution and improve the content that’s on the network. We have a large library to pull from.”

With 18 free ad-supported streaming TV channels offering every genre from horror and thrillers to comedies and animation, Invincible has no shortage of content. Most notably, several shows created by renowned producer Thom Beers (Deadliest Catch, Storage Wars), who joined Invincible in 2020 with the company’s purchase of his channel Business Rockstars, will be added. The first Beers show to be added to the network will be “Kings of Kush”, which chronicles infomercial star Anthony Sullivan’s adventures in starting a CBD farm.

Galxy’s unique “Watch & Earn” feature will even be coming to YTA, so viewers will earn money whenever they watch the channel.
