euronews, the international news channel, today announced its launch on the Roku streaming platform in the U.S., in the UK and in Ireland. Roku streaming players connect to most television sets and enable them to stream online video, music and gaming content without a PC. Roku customers can find and add euronews’ channel application in the Roku Channel Store.
euronews’ flagships programmes are available to Roku customers in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Programmes can be watched instantly and easily on demand, and include the latest news bulletin as well as the lifestyle magazines “cinema” and “le mag”.
In addition, viewers can enjoy the award-winning “No Comment” section, one of euronews’ best known programmes, thanks to its originality and innovative concept of unedited striking images and sounds from around the world.
“We are delighted to offer our programmes to Roku’s customers and increase again our reach in the US, where we observe a strong interest for euronews’ perspective on world events. euronews is reinforcing its non-linear distribution globally, transforming itself into a news hub accessible from anywhere and on any device. Roku’s decision to enter the European market is definitely a very good news for the consumer but also for the industry and we are happy to support this move”, said Walid Chamak, Marketing Manager of euronews.
