One of Europe’s leading streaming platforms has announced a new step in its international expansion with the launch of two new localized FAST channels: Grjngo and Bjgtjme in Poland.
Grjngo is the world’s largest streaming brand for western films, of which there is also a localised version in German, Spanish and English. Bjgtjme is focused on other film genres with all its content in English and dubbed into Polish. Both channels are owned by the international operator Amogo Networx.
Rakuten TV is distributed in 43 European countries and wants to continue its expansion to further strengthen its presence as a multinational company. Since 2020 the company has significantly increased its TVOD offer in Poland in partnership with Polish content providers. Since the beginning of 2023 Rakuten TV has increased considerably its AVOD and FAST section catalogue in Poland.
In February 2023, Rakuten TV added nearly 100 films to its catalogue in Poland with the option of Polish audio. Among them are: Blood Brother, Vendetta, Letters to Juliette or Single Mums Club. More titles are expected to be added in May.
Rakuten TV currently has 69 English-language FAST channels, including well-known brands such as Baby Shark TV, Euronews, and Bloomberg. All of them are showing remarkable growth and the platform is considering the possibilities of acquiring content to operate its own channels adapted to each territory.
