Listen to this articleBelow is our recent interview with Jane Velez-Mitchell, the Founder of UnchainedTV:
Q: Could you provide our readers with a brief introduction to your business?
A: Known as the Vegan CNN/Netflix, UnchainedTV is the world’s only free streaming and FAST channel TV network for the vegan, animal rights, cruelty-free lifestyle. We stream more than 2,000 videos including: award-winning plant-based cooking shows, life-changing documentaries, celebrity profiles and LIVE breaking news. In 2025, we had more than 50 million views across all platforms, including social media, which is more than double our previous year. So, we’re growing fast. Watch our content for free at our website.
Q: Can you tell us something more about your latest announcement?
A: We were just nominated for a prestigious WEBBY award for our Original reality show Green Goddesses Take New York, featuring Justina Adorno (Grand Hotel, Mayans M.C.) and Jamie Logan (The Next Girl). These two actresses/activists stripped down and got body painted as endangered fish, getting into all sorts of jams across New York City to make a point. Fish feel pain and we don’t need to eat them. This is the first episode of a series that will take them to New Jersey and Bali. We are in second place, behind the Jimmy Kimmel Show. The public can vote for them here.
Q: What are your plans for next 12 months?
A: The next 12 months will see explosive growth for UnchainedTV as we expand our roster of new shows and written content. New Day New Chef, our celebrity packed, award-winning cooking series, will see a new season launched this spring. We are also launching a reality series following vegan social media influencer Shaka Smith, who is also a bodybuilder and a lawyer, taking over a vegan restaurant franchise! And, we have more episodes of Green Goddesses and Kale Krew. Kale Krew stars Nemanja Golubovic, owner of the popular and award-winning Chicago vegan restaurant Kale My Name. He travels the world, bringing us the best in vegan food everywhere. The WEBBYs just honored his show!
Q: What is the best thing about your organization that people might not know about?
A: UnchainedTV was launched by Jane Velez-Mitchell, formerly a host on CNN Headline News/HLN and a NY Times bestselling author. She saw that advertiser-based mainstream media is not giving people solutions to the problems that plague us. UnchainedTV is mostly volunteer-run, fueled by people who know that going vegan is the fastest, smartest and best way to solve most of the world’s problems from climate change to human world hunger. With 8.3 billion humans on the planet, we simply cannot continue to all eat animals. We’re already killing more than 80-billion land animals every year, including chickens, cows, pigs, lambs and turkeys. It’s unhealthy and causing a host of problems from water pollution to deforestation, from obesity (meat and dairy consumed through fast food) to cancer (processed meat is officially carcinogenic, read meat a likely carcinogen). So watch UnchainedTV and learn a whole new way of living that’s delicious, healthier for you and also better for animals and the planet.
