Agile Content joins forces with Convergenze to introduce a new platform in Italy, offering a wide range of premium content for all audiences.
Bilbao, September 19th, 2024 – Agile Content, a leading international provider of TV and video solutions, is proud to announce the launch of Agile TV in Italy through a strategic partnership with Italian telecom operator Convergenze.
This collaboration brings a new era of entertainment to Italian audiences with the introduction of “Convergenze TV.” The service will feature over 100 live channels and 800 hours of video-on-demand content, offering a wide range of entertainment options that include sports, documentaries, TV series, films, and children’s programming.
Koldo Unanue, CEO of Agile Content, expressed his enthusiasm about this milestone: “We are thrilled to enter the Italian market through this exciting partnership with Convergenze. It represents another significant step in our international expansion as we continue to grow and bring high-quality TV experiences to new audiences around the globe.”
This partnership marks Agile TV’s first entry into the Italian market, expanding on its success in Spain where it serves over 800,000 customers through operators like MásMóvil and Euskaltel. The platform’s proven technology and extensive content library will now be available to Italian subscribers under Convergenze TV, offering a seamless and comprehensive digital TV experience.
Convergenze’s CEO, Rosario Pingaro, shared his excitement about the launch: “This agreement is a natural extension of the partnership we formed in 2023 with Agile Content, the company behind Agile TV. Thanks to this collaboration, Convergenze was able to launch its Media & Content Delivery Network division. With this new offer, we’re not only enhancing our expertise but also fast-tracking our ambitious plan to solidify our competitive edge by delivering unique products and solutions tailored to consumer needs. Agile is a major player in the streaming industry, and we’re excited to team up with such an innovative and dynamic company. This partnership has allowed us to broaden the range of services we offer our customers. Breaking into the streaming TV market is no small feat, but we’re confident that this collaboration, combined with our commitment to excellence, will allow us to continue advancing and strengthening our market position with unique and cutting-edge solutions.”
Subscribers to Convergenze TV will enjoy access to some of the best content available, spanning live sports, captivating documentaries, popular TV series and films, as well as specially curated programming for children, ensuring that there is something for everyone in the household.
As part of the agreement, Convergenze will integrate Agile TV’s advanced technology directly into its services, allowing subscribers to access the new TV platform as part of their existing telecom packages. With this collaboration, both companies aim to capitalize on the growing demand for innovative, flexible TV solutions in Italy’s evolving OTT and IPTV landscape.
The Italian television market is experiencing rapid growth, with increasing demand for both live and on-demand streaming services. Convergenze TV will be perfectly positioned to meet these needs, offering Italian audiences a high-quality, user-friendly entertainment experience. This initiative aligns with Agile Content’s broader global expansion strategy, following its success in some of the most prominent markets around the world, such as Spain, Germany, and Brazil.
