RTVE’s main announcement in NATPE 2017 won’t be limited to content, as the Spanish public broadcaster will also present its children’s international channel for the Americas.

According to the corporation, Clan, a similar network to the Clan channel that RTVE broadcasts free-to-air in Spain, will be available for pay-TV operators in Latin America and the US.

“It targets the growing demand for pay-TV operators to increase their children’s content offering,” said the broadcaster in a release. “Clan is a themed channel which will deliver the best Spanish-language kids’ content in HD.”

Available right away for pay-TV providers, the network is RTVE’s fourth international signal, and the second exclusive to the Americas. The public broadcaster also distributes TVE Internacional, 24 Horas and Star HD, launched a year ago.

Clan was introduced to the industry during NATPE 2017, being held in Miami between 17-19 January.

As part of the ‘Audiovisual from Spain’ pavilion, RTVE will also present two new fictional series, Reinas (about Mary Stuart, queen of Scots, and Elizabeth I of England) and El Final del Camino. In addition, the corporation will showcase Seis Hermanas, Acacias 38, OT el Reencuentro, La Princesa Paca and 22 Angeles, among other formats.
