Rich Valdes is launching his next venture following his departure from the nationally syndicated news/talk radio lineup with Westwood One last year.
Valdes is launching a new program on Roku as part of the Festiva TV lineup. With the program, his content will be dubbed into Spanish utilizing AI. The program will also be available on Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV.
The English language version of his show will continue to be heard on platforms like iHeartRadio and on Rumble.
The program is in partnership with longtime Latin Music figure Raul Acosta.
“Given the shifting political tides in the Caribbean and Latin America, choosing Rich Valdes as a syndication partner for our Roku channel was a no-brainer,” said Acosta. “He’s nationally recognized, extremely talented, attracts high-quality guests, and his personality and clear perspective are exactly what our audience is looking for as we grow Festiva TV into a premier destination for news and commentary.”
“It’s a blessing to partner with Raul Acosta and Festiva TV to bring my show ‘En Español’ to tens of millions on Roku,” said Valdes. “This allows us to reach new audiences in Spanish while I remain completely open to English syndication opportunities across terrestrial radio, cable television, and streaming platforms like Rumble — building on my ongoing work in those spaces.”
The program — which will air at 9 PM ET on Festiva TV — will be produced from Valdes’ studio overlooking Times Square in New York City.,
