FreeCast debuts free streaming platform in Caribbean
FreeCast has launched its free streaming platform across more than 25 Caribbean countries and territories, marking what the company describes as its first major international expansion.
Following months of limited rollout, the service now offers hundreds of free channels and thousands of on-demand titles throughout the region, the company said.
FreeCast confirmed it has secured international streaming rights, partnered with local broadcasters and established distribution agreements to support the wider deployment.
Viewers in Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and other U.S. territories will have “enhanced access to the platform and a wider selection of content,” including programs already available to stateside users.
The lineup includes regional and locally produced channels such as One Caribbean Television, CaribVision, TRACE Latina, Ayiti TV and Tele Independence, with programming in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Creole.
The platform is designed as a direct-to-mobile service to accommodate a broad mix of devices, “from the latest smartphones to older and less powerful hardware.”
“This is more than just a geographic expansion, it’s a demonstration of the power of our platform,” said FreeCast CEO William Mobley. He said the launch confirms the company’s ability to deliver accessible television without physical infrastructure.
“By eliminating reliance on costly physical infrastructure, we’re able to deliver high-quality, free television to regions that have historically faced accessibility challenges,” he said.
Mobley said the company’s model addresses issues such as complex regional media rights and high mobile viewership across the Caribbean.
“As streaming becomes the global standard, FreeCast is going to be a powerful tool for many such regions,” he said.
