With the agreement, SpringServe will become the primary ad framework for Cinedigm’s growing portfolio of free ad-supported streaming television channels.

As part of the partnership, SpringServe will also provide Cinedigm access to additional ad demand partnerships to better optimize ad inventory yield by increasing CPM and improving fill rates.
