FreeCast Expands Global Streaming Strategy with 28-Channel Brazilian Television Launch

Key Terms

platform-as-a-service technical

A platform-as-a-service is a cloud-based product that provides developers with ready-made tools, computing power and storage to build, run and manage software without owning the underlying hardware or plumbing. Think of it like renting a fully equipped kitchen to prepare meals instead of buying appliances and renovating a home. For investors, it matters because these platforms often generate steady, repeatable revenue, scale efficiently as users grow, and can create customer stickiness that supports long-term margins and valuation.

video on-demand technical

Video on-demand is a service that lets users access prerecorded video content whenever they choose, typically over the internet or via cable or satellite, allowing viewers to start, pause, rewind, or pick specific titles instead of watching a live broadcast. For investors, VOD matters because it creates different revenue streams—subscriptions, ads, or pay-per-view—and user engagement and library size can signal customer loyalty, recurring income potential, and how much a company spends to acquire or produce content, similar to a digital library people subscribe to or rent from.

Agreement with RBTI brings 28 Brazilian channels to FreeCast as the company prepares a broader country-by-country international rollout of its streaming and Platform-as-a-Service ecosystem

ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- FreeCast Inc. (NASDAQ: CAST), a next-generation streaming and media technology company, today announced an agreement with Rede Brasileira de Televisão Internacional (RBTI) to bring a portfolio of 28 Brazilian television channels to FreeCast, marking a significant step in the company's planned expansion into global streaming markets.

RBTI, the Brazilian Network of International Television, serves audiences outside Brazil, including the substantial Brazilian diaspora in the United States and Canada. RBTI distributes Brazilian programming, including programming from the SBT network, as well as original content developed for Brazilian audiences abroad.

Through the agreement, FreeCast plans to make RBTI's 28-channel portfolio available alongside FreeCast's broader library of global FAST channels and free video on-demand programming, creating a significantly expanded destination for Brazilian television, entertainment, culture and information.

The launch is also intended to demonstrate a larger international strategy for FreeCast: building localized streaming ecosystems country by country while connecting those markets to audiences around the world.

Rather than simply distributing individual television channels, FreeCast's Platform-as-a-Service technology is designed to provide a complete digital media infrastructure that can support broadcasters, content owners, telecommunications companies, ISPs and other distribution partners as the company expands internationally.

FreeCast's platform brings together live and FAST television, free VOD libraries, premium streaming services, content discovery, subscription management, advertising, payments and monetization within a unified consumer experience across connected televisions, mobile devices and the web.

“This agreement is an ideal example of what we believe global television should look like in the streaming era,” said William Mobley, CEO and Founder of FreeCast. “There are millions of Brazilians living outside Brazil who want a stronger connection to the programming, culture and entertainment of home, while Brazilian programmers want efficient access to audiences around the world. Bringing 28 channels together with FreeCast's existing global FAST and VOD library gives us the foundation to serve both.”

Mobley continued, “But the larger opportunity goes well beyond Brazil. Our objective is to take the infrastructure we have built and begin replicating this model country by country. Instead of requiring broadcasters, telecom companies and content owners in every market to build another streaming application and another technology stack, FreeCast can provide the underlying platform and monetization infrastructure while allowing partners to maintain their brands and their relationships with viewers.”

Bringing Brazil to the World—and the World to Brazil

FreeCast's strategy creates a two-way opportunity.

FreeCast can provide a centralized destination for Brazilians abroad and Portuguese-speakers, combined with thousands of additional streaming entertainment choices.

As FreeCast expands its international footprint, the same technology can be used to introduce FreeCast's broader global FAST and VOD ecosystem into new countries while incorporating each market's domestic broadcasters, programmers and entertainment services.

This approach transforms FreeCast from a traditional streaming service into a potential global media marketplace, connecting local content with international audiences while giving regional media companies access to technology, distribution and monetization capabilities without requiring each organization to independently build them.

A Platform Built for Global Expansion

As FreeCast enters additional markets, the company intends to use the same underlying technology platform while adapting content, distribution relationships and consumer offerings for individual countries and regions.

“Streaming removed the geographic limitations of television, but the industry remains extraordinarily fragmented,” Mobley said. “Our opportunity is to create the technology and commercial layer that connects those pieces. Brazil represents an important step toward a FreeCast ecosystem where local television can become global television, and global content can become local in virtually any market.”

The Brazilian channel offering is expected to launch as part of FreeCast's broader international expansion beginning in Fall 2026.

Since its inception, the company has evolved from a targeted diaspora distributor into a comprehensive media technology and global channel management provider.
