Alchimie deal expands Rakuten TV portfolio

September 2, 2021 10.01 Europe/London By Julian Clover

Rakuten TV has signed a new agreement with Alchimie that will increase the range of themed channels on its platform.

Eight channels, Humanity, Luxe TV, MMA TV, Big Names, Motorsport TV, Télézap, Explore by TVPlayer and Krime, will be rolled out across Ratkuten’s 42 country footprint.

“Partnering with Alchimie is another milestone in our European expansion and reinforces our commitment to deliver localised and relevant content to all audiences”, said Teresa López, Head of Content at Rakuten TV. “Thanks to Alchimie’s wide variety of content, our line-up expands, providing a broad range of choices for all tastes, from culinary to sports or documentaries”.

“We’re very pleased that Rakuten TV has chosen Alchimie as a content partner across Europe. Our vast content library contains a range of premium programming in multiple languages, so Alchimie is in an excellent position to provide Rakuten TV with entertaining themed channels across Europe with regularly refreshed, high-quality content in local languages.” adds Nicolas d’Hueppe, CEO at Alchimie.

L’Atelier des Chefs, which has already launched as part of Rakuten TV’s new culinary channels’ expansion, is also available.

Rakuten TV linear channels are available on the Rakuten TV app on Samsung and LG Smart TV devices.
