Streaming service Acorn TV launches in Mexico

Popular streaming service Acorn TV launches in Mexico. Renown for being one of the leading streaming services in North America, the channel has distinguished itself for the high-quality content it offers: World Class TV from Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Canada. For less than $100 pesos per month ($4.99 USD dollars), users can access premium content with no advertisements.

“Mexicans have a deep appreciation for great global content and we are very enthusiastic to be introducing our streaming channel. We offer premiere entertainment with popular, critically-acclaimed series that will be available to Mexican viewers for the first time. Given Mexico streams more content than any other Spanish-speaking Latin American country, entering the Mexican market is a key milestone for us and part of our expansion plan.” Miguel Penella, Chief Executive Officer of RLJ Entertainment that operates Acorn TV.

Acorn TV has become a household name in the US as a result of its masterful productions, stellar scripts, and award-worthy series from leading global broadcasters including BBC, ITV, Channel 4, ABC Australia, and RTE.
