CNN en Español has rolled out a 24-hour streaming channel in Spain, now accessible on Rakuten TV. The service will also be launching on Samsung TV Plus on October 16th, followed by LG Channels later this month.
Cynthia Hudson, senior vice president and managing director of CNN en Español and Hispanic strategy for CNN/US, said, “We are so pleased to deepen our presence in the Spanish market, for long a goal of our team as we witnessed the growing interest of Spanish audiences in our news content from Latin America and around the world on CNNEspanol.com. This move brings our compelling programming content and talented journalists to a brand new audience, marking an exciting new chapter for CNN en Español in Europe.”
Furthermore, CNN en Español offers a comprehensive multi-platform experience, including CNNEspanol.com, CNN en Español Radio, its YouTube channel, and active engagement on platforms like WhatsApp, X, Facebook, Threads, and Instagram.
Additionally, viewers will now have access to an expanded array of content with the launch of its streaming channel in Spain, ranging from documentaries, interviews, and in-depth analysis from the network’s leading journalists to fintech, programming covering entertainment, sports, health, lifestyle, and more.
Humphrey Black, Vice President, Distribution, CNN International Commercial, said, “Expanding on CNN’s success in reaching new audiences through FAST channels and streaming, we are delighted to make CNN en Español available to audiences in Spain and increase access to the valuable around the clock reporting.”
CNN en Español will produce two of its flagship programs from Madrid this October: Café CNN hosted by Alejandra Oraa and Conclusiones with Fernando del Rincón to celebrate the launch of its streaming channel.
