Somos Next announced the launch of its linear channel FlixLatino on CenturyLink Stream, CenturyLink’s Over The Top (OTT) platform. FlixLatino is available as part of the CenturyLink Stream’s genre package Películas.

FlixLatino offers films and episodic content targeting the young Latino population. The channel features thrillers and action movies, series and other types of audiovisual productions in Spanish. This content is packaged with a young and irreverent look and feel, in line with millennials’ style of communication. Besides the linear channel, FlixLatino also offers a substantial Free VOD offering, which allows the audience to watch the content anytime and “binge” on the attractive content.

“CenturyLink has the innovative spirit to impact and successfully grow in the OTT market with CenturyLink Stream. We are excited to participate in such a high-quality product with our channel FlixLatino. I am sure this channel will extend our track record of success given the impact of its unique and first-rate Spanish content, attractive look and feel and promotional strategy. Participating in the OTT market is key for us and we are glad to partner with CenturyLink,” commented Luis Villanueva, president, and CEO of Somos Next.
