What Substack TV Is

Substack has launched a TV app available on Apple TV and Google TV.

Any video content already published on Substack now appears automatically on subscribers’ televisions.

  • No extra uploads

  • No reformatting

  • No separate distribution process

This is a major shift. Substack is no longer positioned only as a reading platform. It has moved into lean-back viewing, which fundamentally changes how creators—and especially actors—are perceived.
