WASHINGTON D.C. – International news channel EuroNews announced today the channel will be made available for free on TVext, a web-based media network.
The partnership allows viewers in the U.S. and Canada to watch international news, including U.S. news, from a European perspective live from their desktop, free of charge, says the press release.
EuroNews is available in Canada on Rogers Cable, Bell ExpressVu and Videotron.
“This partnership represents a new way to expand globally and reach viewers who want news with a fresh perspective on world events,” said EuroNews chairman and CEO Phillippe Cayla. “It fits perfectly with our philosophy of providing accessible and relevant programming to dual-language households and emigrants living in the United States that compliments the programming they already receive.”
EuroNews, which is available in seven languages – English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian – reaches over 188 million households in 121 countries worldwide by cable, digital satellite and terrestrial distribution, including millions of U.S. cable and satellite viewers. The channel is also available on European cable, satellite and terrestrial platforms as well as 21 IPTV networks, 24 mobile phone platforms in 17 countries across Europe, and is live onboard 10 leading international airlines.
