Newcomer joins 7plus’ market leading FAST channel line up
May 20, 2025 -- The Seven Network today announced the launch of its newest 7plus streaming channel, Below Deck Vault, cementing its position as the leader in the rapidly growing FAST channel category.
Created as part of Seven’s partnership with NBCUniversal, one of the world’s leading entertainment and media companies, Below Deck Vault brings viewers curated episodes from the much-loved Below Deck franchise. It is the latest addition to a stellar collection of NBCUniversal content on Seven and 7plus, including 7Bravo, movies and premium drama series.
Below Deck Vault features seasons from Below Deck, Below Deck Down Under, Below Deck Mediterranean and Below Deck Sailing Yacht.
Richard Henson, Director Distribution & Content Partnerships at Seven Network, said: “NBCUniversal is one of our most valued and important partners, with more than 1,200 hours of NBCUniversal content across Seven and 7plus every year.
“Below Deck Vault is a great addition to that partnership. Strengthening our portfolio of more than 50 FAST channels, it represents an exciting extension to our relationship with NBCUniversal, allowing us to super-serve our 7plus audience.
“We’re seeing strong levels of engagement with a number of recently launched channels and have some exciting channel additions that will launch soon. At the same time, our continued commitment to sport on 7plus Sport – including cricket and AFL – is producing exceptional results,” he said.
“On the metrics of minutes streamed, active devices and audience reach, April was a record month for 7plus FAST channels. In April, our 7plus FAST channels saw a record 206 million minutes streamed, up 66% on April 2024 and more than 2.5 times higher than Seven’s closest commercial free-to-air rival.
