A month later than expected Colombia’s public media system, RTVC, has finally released its video-on-demand (VOD) and over-the-top (OTT) platform.

rtvc playRTVC Play is a free service which has kicked off with over 400 titles including series, films, documentaries and some news programmes.

Available for desktop and mobile devices through an iOS and Android app, the platform aims to grow as it adds shows from Señal Colombia, like Josefina en la Cocina and Los Puros Criollos, as well as documentaries and series from Canal Institucional. In addition, Yuruparí, a documentary series from the 80s, has been restored and is already available on the service.

The project, which was tested out during the first weeks of June, is intended to open Colombia’s public media up to new ways of consuming content.

“This launch shows RTVC’s commitment to delivering the very best of our content to our viewers, no matter where they are,” said John Jairo Ocampo, GM, RTVC. “This digital platform makes it easier for Colombians to access cultural and educational content.”
