Rakuten adds Euronews live stream on LG and Samsung smart TVs

Live streams of Euronews are being rolled out on Rakuten TV via LG and Samsung Smart TVs.

Euronews becomes the first live linear TV channel to join Rakuten's AVOD section.

The live streams will be initially restricted to recent LG and Samsung smart TV models that have the Rakuten TV app, although there are plans to roll it out to other devices with Rakuten TV in the future.

Live streams of Euronews are being added in stages across various European countries, with supported devices in the UK getting it by 8th June 2020. In addition to the English "world" feed, Euronews feeds in French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish will be available.

Commenting on the launch, Teresa López, European content director at Rakuten TV, said:
 We are very excited about the launch of our first live channel, which allows us to enrich our current proposition providing an always more varied and extensive content in the platform. Rakuten TV is eager to continue expanding its content offer in order to provide a complete experience just on a click.
