Telemundo Revives Ana María Polo's ‘Caso Cerrado' With 24/7 FAST Channel Launch
However, even Polo's Caso Cerrado eventually reached its own "closed case." The popular show concluded in 2019, following the end of her multi-year contract with Telemundo.
Now, Telemundo is reviving the hit Spanish-language courtroom drama with the launch of a 24/7 free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel dedicated to Caso Cerrado. It's a streaming time capsule, offering both longtime fans and new viewers access to over 800 hours of Polo's long-running show.

'Telemundo's Caso Cerrado is one of Hispanic media's most iconic franchises with enduring fandom and new audiences discovering the courtroom drama via viral moments across digital and social platforms. With more than 26 million dedicated fans and nearly 100 million average monthly views on social media, the demand for this iconic series continues to grow,' says Romina Rosado, EVP, Streaming at NBCUniversal Telemundo Enterprises.
Launched just after the show's 24th anniversary, the FAST channel taps into early 2000s nostalgia and offers the opportunity to introduce a new generation to Polo's signature style. Each episode presented dramatic courtroom showdowns, with Dr. Polo presiding over cases that, while inspired by real-life situations, were often dramatized for television.
Before her career as a popular TV judge, Polo practiced family law in Miami for 20 years. In 2017, she attempted to cross over into the English-language TV court scene with the syndicated Ana Polo Rules, but the show was canceled after only 15 episodes.
The Caso Cerrado FAST channel, set to go live on May 29, 2025, at 9:00 AM ET, is available for free on platforms like Roku, Samsung TV Plus, Prime Video, Fubo, Fire TV, Freevee, Google TV, LG channels, TCL, Comcast, Plex, and Xumo.

Transak Raises $16M From IDG Capital, Tether to Scale Stablecoin Payment Network
Web3 payments infrastructure firm Transak has raised $16 million in a strategic funding round co-led by IDG Capital and Tether. The company plans to use the funds to expand its stablecoin payments stack and enter new markets. The funding round comes at a time in which the stablecoin sector has been growing exponentially. DeFiLlama data shows in early 2024 it has a $130 billion market capitalization, which has since more than doubled to $270 billion. Transak says nearly 30% of its more than $2 billion in processed transactions originates from stablecoin flows. The company's CEO and co-founder Sami Start said in a press release shared with CoinDesk that scaling stablecoin adoption requires more than liquidity. 'Stablecoins are no longer just a crypto asset. They are now the rails for global value transfer,' Start said. 'But making them usable at scale requires more than just liquidity,' he added. Tether's participation in the funding round is notable. The company's flagship stablecoin, USDT currently accounts for more than 60% of the total market, DeFiLlama's data shows. The stablecoin issuer has been putting its dominance to use, investing in various ventures including Spanish crypto exchange Bit2Me, Italian football club Juventus, major Latin American producer Adecoagro, blockchain forensics firm Crystal Intelligence, YouTube competitor Rumble, and gold-focused investment firm Elemental Altus. Transak's funding round also saw participation from Primal Capital, 1kx, Protein Capital, Fuel Ventures, and others. The transaction was advised by FT Partners. The company highlighted it holds licenses in multiple jurisdictions, including the United States (FinCEN), United Kingdom (FCA), European Union (VASP), Canada (FINTRAC), Australia (AUSTRAC) and India (FIU-IND).Sign in to access your portfolio

Bridger Aerospace Stock Plunges Despite Record Q2 Earnings and Profit
Shares of Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings, Inc. BAER have lost 10.9% since the company reported its earnings for the quarter ended June 30, 2025. This compares unfavorably to the S&P 500 Index's 0.5% gain over the same period. Over the past month, BAER has slipped 2.2%, while the broader market rose 2.1%. BAER's Financial Performance Snapshot Bridger Aerospace delivered its strongest second quarter in company history, with revenue climbing 136.3% year over year to $30.8 million from $13 million. Net income was $0.3 million against a $9.9 million loss a year earlier, and adjusted EBITDA surged to $10.8 million from $0.2 million. Loss per diluted share was $0.12, improving from a loss of $0.33 per share a year earlier. Excluding $5.1 million in revenues from return-to-service work on four Spanish Super Scoopers under its MAB Funding partnership, operational revenue still more than doubled to $25.7 million. The quarter benefited from early and full deployment of the fleet, with both Super Scoopers and surveillance aircraft seeing high utilization. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses fell 17.4% to $6.5 million from $7.9 million due to lower non-cash stock-based compensation and reduced earnout consideration, while cost of revenues rose 89.5% to $18.7 million from $9.9 million, partly due to $3.9 million in expenses for the Spanish aircraft program. Bridger Aerospace's Other Key Business Metrics Bridger Aerospace achieved 100% fleet deployment in the quarter, marking the earliest call-outs in its history. Two separate 120-day task orders for Super Scoopers from the U.S. Forest Service ensure deployment through mid-October, supporting the company's strategy for year-round revenue. Additionally, BAER dropped 4 million gallons of water across multiple states during the season to date. Cash and cash equivalents stood at $17 million at quarter-end, down from $39.3 million at the end of 2024, largely due to winter maintenance and training expenses. However, $18.3 million in receivables from early fire season activity is expected to boost cash in the coming months. Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings, Inc. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings, Inc. price-consensus-eps-surprise-chart | Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings, Inc. Quote BAER's Management Commentary CEO Sam Davis credited the performance to early deployments, expanded contracts, and the increasing recognition of the Super Scooper's effectiveness in initial attack operations. Davis noted that all six scoopers operated together in Alaska for the first time under U.S. Forest Service task orders. Management also highlighted ongoing integration of its Ignis Technologies platform with real-time sensor imagery to improve situational awareness for firefighters, and progress on the development of the FF72 firefighting aircraft in partnership with Positive Aviation, targeting a 2029 delivery. Factors Influencing Bridger Aerospace's Headline Numbers Bridger Aerospace's revenue surge was driven by significantly higher activity levels compared to 2024, aided by favorable wildfire conditions, expanded contracts and earlier deployments. While operational gains were strong, higher maintenance costs associated with the return-to-service program for the Spanish Scoopers weighed on margins. Lower SG&A helped offset these pressures, reflecting disciplined cost control. Interest expense remained relatively stable at $5.7 million. The shift to net profitability was primarily attributed to increased fleet utilization and operational leverage. BAER's Guidance Bridger Aerospace reaffirmed expectations to close 2025 at the higher end of its guidance — adjusted EBITDA between $42 million and $48 million on revenue of $105 million to $111 million. Guidance excludes potential contributions from the Spanish Scoopers. Management also anticipates continued improvement in cash flow from operating activities and plans to revisit forecasts after third-quarter results, historically the strongest period due to peak wildfire activity. Bridger Aerospace's Other Developments During the quarter, BAER signed a $46 million sale-leaseback agreement for its Bozeman, MT, campus and hangar facilities, with closing expected in third-quarter 2025. Proceeds will be used to reduce debt and interest expenses while retaining operational use under a 10-year lease. The return-to-service work on the four Spanish Scoopers remains on schedule, with two already certified and potential deployment in Europe under consideration. The remaining two are slated for completion later in 2025 and early 2026. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research? Today, you can download 7 Best Stocks for the Next 30 Days.
