Hemisphere Media Group, the US media company targeting the US Hispanic and Latin American markets, has announced that its FAST channel WAPA+ is now available for free on Prime Video, expanding the reach of the company’s Puerto Rican-focused streaming offering to audiences across the US. WAPA+ carries the best-of programming from the Puerto Rican broadcast network, WAPA-TV.

WAPA+ delivers a 24/7 lineup of news, entertainment, and lifestyle programming from Puerto Rico, anchored by locally produced content and personalities beloved by audiences on the island and throughout the US mainland. Programming includes NotiCentro América, the first newscast created specifically for Puerto Ricans living in the continental US, live reality competitions Super Chef Celebrities and ¡Claro que Baila!, as well as entertainment programmes, political analysis, sports coverage, reality, movies, comedy and original productions from WAPA Media.

“Expanding WAPA+ to Prime Video reflects the continued demand for authentic Puerto Rican programming on streaming platforms,” said Alan J. Sokol, President and CEO of Hemisphere Media Group. “WAPA+ is the first FAST channel created to serve Puerto Ricans living in the US mainland with the news, entertainment, and cultural connection they value most from Puerto Rico’s #1 rated TV network. This expansion continues to deepen that connection while extending the reach of our content.”

The launch further strengthens Hemisphere’s growing FAST portfolio, which includes Todocine and Todo Novelas, Más Pasiones, as the company continues expanding distribution across the evolving streaming ecosystem.
