The US Hispanic market alone represents over 60 million viewers,” notes Joe Fregoso, Director of Business Development, Latin America, Wurl. “With their launches on Roku, RCN Más and MegaNoticias are paving the way for Latin American content companies to enter the FAST channel ecosystem and start monetizing their services around the world.”

“RCN Más will entertain Roku audiences with top-quality programming from Colombian powerhouse and producer RCN. The launch on Roku expands the RCN brand and content library to more US Hispanic households, so that more viewers can enjoy the relevant and great stories that can be expected from RCN,” said Julian Giraldo, EVP at RCN International.

Jorge Alejandro Tanaka, Managing Director of Meganoticias continued: “The launch of Meganoticias on Roku provides US Hispanic audiences a well-known news brand from Mexico, with trusted and quality reporting, 24/7 in Spanish, covering the most relevant events on the ground from the news site.”
