FLOUtv: Launching a Spanish-Language FAST Streaming Ecosystem for the U.S. and Latin America
Executive Summary
Spanglish Movies, a company dedicated to amplifying Latino voices and Spanish-language storytelling, partnered with FAST Channels TV to launch FLOUtv, a Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV (FAST) platform and app ecosystem targeting Spanish-speaking audiences across the United States and Latin America.
The initiative combines culturally relevant programming, diaspora-focused storytelling, and a robust white-label streaming infrastructure to deliver an immersive, free streaming experience for Hispanic viewers.
Through the partnership, FAST Channels TV provides the technology platform, channel playout, application ecosystem, monetization infrastructure, and ongoing operational support, enabling Spanglish Movies to focus on expanding its content catalog and strengthening relationships with Latino creators and distributors worldwide.
FLOUtv offers a powerful mix of live FAST channels and AVOD content, including films, documentaries, music shows, cultural programming, and entertainment produced across Latin America and the Hispanic diaspora.
The result is a scalable streaming ecosystem designed to connect audiences with their culture while opening new distribution and monetization opportunities for Spanish-language creators.

Latino creators seeking broader global distribution
Advertisers looking to reach the rapidly growing Hispanic demographic
The solution needed to combine:
Free access to remove barriers to entry
Cultural authenticity
Large-scale content distribution
Programmatic advertising monetization
Multi-device streaming accessibility
