Former Sundance Channel Global president Bruce Tuchman has linked up with New Zealand’s Rialto Channel to launch a new global streaming and linear service, which has already struck its first deal.

Rialto International is a 50-50 joint venture that will offer series, documentaries and independent films to viewers worldwide via bespoke linear networks and on-demand services.

The first agreement will see Rialto – a commercial-free network that launched more than two decades ago in New Zealand – reach Australia, with Rialto International striking an AVOD pact with Samsung TV Plus.
