ESTRELLA MEDIA ANNOUNCES DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT WITH FUBOTV

Estrella Media Inc. announced its decision to enter a distribution agreement with live TV streaming platform fuboTV. The network's live national EstrellaTV channel, along with its flagship television station in LA KRCA-62, are now available to fuboTV's subscribers on its Latino package in the U.S. “We are truly excited about cord-cutting services like fuboTV and look forward to reaching our fans on more devices and new platforms in the near future,” Peter Markham, CEO, Estrella Media, said. 

The deal serves as one of Estrella Media’s first major virtual MVPD distribution agreements in the United States, making way for the multiplatform media company’s continued expansion into live streaming. “Partnering with fuboTV is a great opportunity to continue expanding EstrellaTV’s distribution channels outside of traditional cable and broadcasting. fuboTV will make our network and local KRCA-62 Los Angeles station available to their growing number of subscribers across the U.S. and increase our footprint in the live streaming universe,” Markham said.

The EstrellaTV network is one of America’s premier Hispanic television networks. EstrellaTV grew from 11 owned and operated stations in 2009 to more than 35 broadcast affiliates with a catalog of more than 7,500 hours of programming that is distributed by the company worldwide. 

The network also has national carriage agreements with major cable and satellite operators. The network offers a unique aggregation of Spanish-language programming, including national and local news shows, sports, entertainment, talk, reality, drama, and comedy primarily produced in its Estrella Studios in Burbank, California.
