This is the PRORANKTV channel list laid out for someone learning a language. English-language groups come first, then French, the rest of Europe, Spanish, Arabic, Turkish and the languages of South and East Asia. Inside most groups the channels climb from easy listening to hard: children’s channels and weather, news, picture-led lifestyle, networks and drama, talk and comedy, film, and live sport at the top.
The order changes nothing about what you get: every plan opens the whole line-up. What to watch at each stage of a language is covered under live TV by language.

Turning a group into a daily listening slot
A long list only helps if the same three channels are one press away every day. Four habits do it:
- A favorites list per language. Spanish channels in one, French in another. TiviMate needs Premium for this; the TiviMate walkthrough for PRORANKTV shows where it sits.
- A fixed time. The program guide tells you when a forecast or bulletin is due, so the 7 p.m. weather becomes a standing appointment.
- A second hearing. On channels that carry it, catch-up TV lets a player that supports it replay a bulletin you half caught.
- Sport last. Commentary is the fastest speech here; PRORANKTV sports pairs each league with its broadcasters and their commentary languages.
The on-demand side holds 120,000+ titles sorted by genre, many with more than one audio or subtitle track, varying by title. Plans differ only in length and in how many screens play at once: see PRORANKTV prices.
Hear these groups on your own screen
The 24-hour free trial opens every group on this page and the on-demand library. The login arrives in the WhatsApp chat.
PRORANKTV channel list: questions
How many channels does PRORANKTV have?
PRORANKTV carries 25,000+ live channels across 60+ countries, with 120,000+ movies and series on demand beside them. The sixteen groups here print only the names people ask about most; your player lists many more per country, and more countries. Every plan opens all of them.
Which languages can I hear on PRORANKTV?
English in many accents, plus French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese from Portugal, Dutch, Arabic, Turkish, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Korean, Mandarin, Cantonese, Filipino and Irish on TG4. Japanese is not among them: NHK World broadcasts in English. Every plan includes every language.
Does PRORANKTV have kids’ channels in other languages?
Only in English and French. The US, British and Canadian groups hold the English children’s channels, and TFO, a French-language channel from Ontario, sits with Canada. In any other language, begin with the weather and the bulletins: slower than talk shows, and the pictures help.
Do PRORANKTV channels show subtitles?
Sometimes, and it is never promised. A live channel shows subtitles or captions only when the broadcaster sends them and your player can display them. On-demand titles more often carry selectable subtitle and audio tracks, title by title, so check the one you want first.
Is a channel on PRORANKTV if this page does not list it?
Quite possibly. The playlist holds far more than the names printed here, and some channels sit under a shortened name, so type part of the name into your player’s search. Nothing there? Message the channel’s name in the WhatsApp chat and support will confirm whether it is carried; asking during the free trial settles it before you pay.
Will PRORANKTV look different in another player?
The channels will not change, only the screen around them. Your line-up comes with the login, so any player you sign in to loads the same groups; the menus, the guide layout and features such as favorites depend on the player. In TiviMate, favorites and hidden groups need Premium.
