Med Media Services Secures Distribution for Med.TV on Rakuten TV

Mediterranean-focused FAST channel Med.TV from Med Media Services has been secured for distribution by Rakuten TV, launching it across 43 European markets.

Med.TV, launched in 2025, showcases the Mediterranean through a mix of original and curated content spanning documentaries, travel and culinary series, feature films, classical concerts and opera, as well as coverage and highlights from major business events and Mediterranean-focused current affairs programs.

Notable titles include the travel series Into the Med; documentary series such as Mediterraneo and Signorie; culinary favorites including Mediterranean Kitchen and Gold Cuisine; world-class classical concerts and opera performances; and business-led formats such as Med Leaders.

“This partnership with Rakuten TV in Europe further supports our strategy to scale MED.TV through strategic linear and streaming platform partnerships, while continuing to invest in original programming and localized content tailored to regional audiences,” said Med Media Services COO, Manolo Mantovani. “As a channel that launched just last year, expanding our distribution so quickly across Europe is a strong validation of our editorial vision and long-term strategy. Rakuten TV’s scale and reach allow us to introduce MED.TV to new audiences while strengthening our position as a distinctive Mediterranean-focused channel.”

“MED.TV brings together the varied yet distinctive Mediterranean cultures and lifestyles of the region through programming that is both aspirational and accessible to a wide European audience,” said Marcos Milanez, chief content officer, Rakuten TV. “Its Mediterranean focus complements our growing FAST portfolio and aligns well with viewer demand for diverse, high-quality content.”
