Haystack TV adds Africanews

Ad-supported news-focused streaming service Haystack TV has added Africanews to its roster of on-demand international news providers.  

Haystack, which provides channels for local, national and world TV news, said the addition of Africanews was the result of an expanded content distribution agreement with its owner, the Euronews group.

Haystack News offers on-demand news coverage from a portfolio of world news providers, including Al-Jazeera English, CBC, DW, Euronews, France24, and i24News.

“Adding Africanews to our growing content roster reflects Haystack News commitment to seek out valuable new content partnerships to fuel our growth and add value for our viewers. Africanews offers a fresh and unique perspective consistent with the quality journalism we have from Euronews,” said Daniel Barreto, co-founder and CEO at Haystack TV.

“We are proud to extend our partnership with Haystack News in making Africanews available on the service. Audiences are increasingly interested in accessing unbiased and fact-based news on digital services and connected devices. Through global partnerships with leading broadcasters like Haystack News, Africanews is strengthening its position as a growing news media in the streaming sector,” said Maxime Carboni, director of worldwide distribution at the Euronews group.
