The showcase featured several significant announcements, including the launch of EDYE-TV, a pay TV linear channel now available throughout Spanish-speaking Latin America. This service will also facilitate the creation of branded blocks for broadcasters.

EDYE's executive team provided a comprehensive review of activities in content, marketing, distribution, and community services. This included highlighting their important work in classrooms across rural areas in Mexico in partnership with the US Consulate in Merida, Yucatan, and the Department of Education of the state of Campeche.

Staying at the forefront of technology, EDYE also announced the development of new AI-powered features that will allow children to chat with Ray, EDYE's mascot, in a secure environment to help them navigate EDYE's vast content catalog and answer basic questions.
