HITN, the nation’s leading Spanish-language media source for educational and cultural programming, announced today that EDYE TV—the linear channel extension of its EDYE preschool streaming service—has selected Overon’s advanced satellite and digital infrastructure to power its content distribution across the United States and Latin America.

As the technical division of GRUP MEDIAPRO, Overon boasts an extensive distribution network that leverages satellites, terrestrial video fiber, and internet capabilities.

“We were looking for a fast but robust solution that would allow us to program a dynamic channel running high-definition children’s content with unconventional durations. Having a platform like Overon which offers origination, playout and distribution within one ecosystem, allows our EDYE linear service to be up and running in any major market, around the globe, very quickly and with extraordinary quality,” said Mauricio Gallego, Director of Content Operations for HITN-TV.
