Zapping, also known as Zapping SpA, is a privately owned subscription-based television streaming service headquartered in Chile. Founded in 2017, the company operates as a virtual multichannel video programming distributor (vMVPD) and, with approximately 100 employees, reported $18.4M in revenue as of 2023. Functioning as a tier 2 media tech buyer, the company provides live television channels over the internet, eliminating the need for traditional cable infrastructure or satellite decoders. Zapping has expanded its operations beyond its domestic market into Brazil, Peru, and Ecuador, facilitating the transition from legacy pay-TV to digital streaming in these regions. The platform is noted for its proprietary technology, including features like "Mode Turbo" for low-latency live sports, "Replay" for up to seven days of catch-up content, and an integrated "Rating" system that tracks real-time audience metrics. Its business model relies on monthly subscriptions and partnerships with content providers such as Warner Bros. Discovery, Disney, and Paramount, alongside specialized sports offerings like TNT Sports and its internal channel, Zapping Channel.
Zapping recently launched a new feature allowing users to control its service directly through WhatsApp, positioning the messaging app as a remote control. Previously, on November 17, 2025, Gustavo Morandé of Zapping was slated to speak at the "Tell Me the Firm Returns to EtM Day 2025" event, a moderated conversation where he would share learnings and mistakes in entrepreneurship. This followed an earlier announcement on May 12, 2025, when Zapping Sports Ecuador, described as a top LATAM Pay-TV operator and a leading South American internet subscription TV service provider, invested in a PlayBox Neo Channel-in-a-Box HD server to power its subscription-based online streaming service.
