SPI/FilmBox launches its gaming channel made by Gamers for Gamers, Gametoon HD, with a brand new partnership with MEO of Portugal

Gametoon HD is a worldwide entertainment TV channel for millennials revolving around gaming and eSports. The Gametoon HD channel features highlights of popular video games, entertainment content from gaming youtubers, video game tournaments (eSports) with million dollar prize pools and much more. Gametoon HD offers a unique experience to its audience along with wholly owned exclusive contents and timeslots such as Stream Nation and eSports tournaments. In respect to its exclusivity, Gametoon HD is recognized as a well-known source of entertainment within the world of gaming. SPI and MEO wanted to harness the DNA of the channel as an authentic place for gamers, that cultivates a gaming community and culture outside of the one-to-one PC environment, through embracing gaming as a real sporting and social experience.  

“Gametoon HD has offered us a unique opportunity to partner with MEO and to create a channel that will really resonate with the gaming community. In addition to this channel, Gametoon App has also launched on the platform housing our wholly owned content. We had a shared vision and intent for Gametoon HD and this is just the first step to meeting this goal. Together, we are bringing Gametoon HD to Portugal, in a big way” said Georgina Twiss, MD Western Europe & Africa at SPI International.
