What YouTube channels post content similar to TV shows? (jlai.lu)

I'm sure there are channels that run similar to Public TV. They may post a regular show, or a variety of shows.

Maybe web-series is the word to use. They must be of decent quality and updated within the last 6 months.

I'm know not looking for documentaries, essay videos, pranks, reviews or vlogs.

And not 1-2 people going around doing whatever, or a group of people that sit with a static backdrop chatting or pulling up graphics.

I'm looking for funny game shows, dating shows, reality tv, sit coms, drama, variety shows, comedy or anything that would be similar to flicking through over the air TV (but not jsut shows copied from TV).

https://watch.plex.tv/live-tv

has tons of free tv-like channels with a slew of content. Plus you can self-host your own media on there for free too if you that’s your thing.

I also recommend Pluto.TV for anybody who enjoys Plex's live TV. They've got a similar business model in place (watch for free with regularly-scheduled ads, like normal TV), and some different content sources (as well as some overlapping sources). Like Plex, it also doesn't require any account to watch. It also has an app for most TV platforms.

I’d rather give the ad revenue dollars to a small, independent company like Plex over a media giant like ViacomCBS if the content is similar. Just my 2¢.

I thought those channels were just IP-TV channels? I've seen a bunch of them on other IPTV services anyhow.
