Sling Freestream Brings Europe’s FlixSnip to the U.S.
Already available in parts of Europe, Asia and Latin America, the Barcelona-based FlixSnip channel had yet to reach the U.S. since it came on the video-on-demand scene in 2019 – that is, until now. With Sling TV’s February introduction of its free ad-supported service, Sling Freestream, opportunities to provide free international content to U.S. viewers began flooding in from all over the world, and both FlixSnip and Sling TV jumped at the chance to introduce new audiences to FlixSnip’s unique content: an ever-growing library of award-winning, short-format foreign films, series and documentaries.
What Is Sling Freestream?
The whole idea behind Sling Freestream has been to provide quality free-to-stream content from both the U.S. and international regions to U.S. audiences, regardless of their Sling subscription status. Instead of having its audience pay for access to a wide selection of shows they love, Sling’s advertisers are footing the bill.
And rest-assured that Sling Freestream is providing access to what actually constitutes “high-quality” programming, making available an ever-increasing variety of content that caters to a wide range of viewers. Sling Freestream’s international programming covers more than 15 languages and dialects from across Europe, South Asia, East Asia, the Arabic region and Brazil – and most of it offers subtitles, extending its reach to an even wider audience. Its counterpart, Sling Freestream’s domestic programming, offers hundreds of live American channels, spanning news, sports and popular shows, as well as more than 40,000 on-demand shows and movies. As such, Sling Freestream serves as a perfect complement to Sling’s domestic and international subscription packages.
What Is FlixSnip?
As far as the Sling TV-FlixSnip partnership is concerned, FlixSnip offers exactly the type of content Sling TV is after: highly curated, high-quality programming with an excitingly innovative angle that’s impossible to ignore: premium, short-format content that can’t be found anywhere else.
FlixSnip’s tagline says it all: It was “designed for life’s little breaks.” As such, the platform prides itself on its premium selection of international movies, series and documentaries – none of which exceed 20 minutes in length. Their multi-language programs run the gamut of genres, covering drama, family, comedy, romance, thriller and kids content. What’s more, while FlixSnip adds 500 to 600 short films to their collection each year, it’s highly selective about the quality of films admitted to their library, with more than 90% of those accepted either awarded or nominated in top film festivals, including the Tribeca Film Festival, Festival de Cannes, Sundance Film Festival, and Oscars.
Not even six months old, Sling Freestream is still in its ramp-up stage, shaking hands with network after network to bring fresh content to U.S. audiences. Its partnership with FlixSnip serves as another great opportunity for Sling TV to fulfill its promise of sourcing the best content from all over the world for its viewers.
