Cinedigm to Launch Free, Ad-supported Linear Channels Portfolio Via Plex

LOS ANGELES, July 23, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM) announced that the Company has partnered with Plex to stream eight of the Company’s free, ad-supported channels to their US and Worldwide-based consumers. This launch helps Cinedigm reach a savvy demographic that is heavily media-focused and not currently serviced by key streaming platforms. This launch also dramatically expands Cinedigm’s international footprint by reaching a new set of international consumers with a strong interest in media.

Plex, which has over 20 million registered users worldwide, is a popular platform for streaming all forms of media, including free ad-supported movies and TV shows. In the partnership with Cinedigm, Plex will now distribute Cinedigm’s linear channels on an ad-supported video-on-demand basis.

“We are excited about the opportunity to provide our full channel catalog to Plex’s large user base of entertainment-focused fans,” said Tony Huidor, Cinedigm’s General Manager of Digital Networks. “Plex gives us access to a worldwide audience, much of it not reachable through our existing distribution footprint. We are excited about the opportunity to further establish our ad-supported channels worldwide.”

Cinedigm continues to focus on bringing well-established brands and film & television content from leading content owners into the rapidly growing free ad-supported television marketplace. Consumer interest in premium content remains strong within the OTT ad-supported space as traditional cable and satellite services continue to lose subscribers seeking low-cost alternatives and new options for their entertainment needs.
