Roku has unwrapped Espacio Latino, a new destination for U.S. Spanish-speaking audiences, which aggregates hundreds of hours of free programming on the Roku Channel.
For the launch of Espacio Latino, Roku has inked deals with several new partners: NBCUniversal’s Telemundo, Hemisphere Media Group, Cisneros Media, Eurochannel, Weather Channel en Español and Canela.TV. Roku also is pulling in content from existing partners, including Lionsgate, Cinedigm, A+E Networks, BBC Studios, Sony Pictures Television, Film Movement, EstrellaTV, TelevisaUnivision and Pantaya, and beIN Sports.
A user’s language settings will determine whether users will first experience a Spanish or English user interface and playback settings in Espacio Latino. In addition, advertising on Espacio Latino will appear in Spanish if a user is watching content with Spanish subtitles or Spanish audio; ads will appear in English if English subtitles are activated.
