Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM) and the leading international entertainment
distribution network Jungo TV announced today the launch of their
digital-first linear channels— Jungo TV’s flagship sports network
Combat Go and the K-Pop-led global Asian pop culture network
Hallypop, on STIRR, Sinclair Broadcast Group’s (NASDAQ: SBGI) free,
ad-supported linear channel streaming service. Combat Go and
Hallypop are available now, joining fellow Cinedigm networks CONtv

Combat Go, created by Jungo TV CEO George Chung,
a five-time karate champion and inductee in the Black Belt Hall of
Fame, presents curated content selected by martial arts experts,
featuring original docuseries, fight events and martial arts
movies. Through its partnership with FITE.TV, the network covers
combat events from around the globe including MMA, Muay Thai, and
kickboxing, and highlights promotions such as RIZIN, Kunlun Fights,
and Ring of Honor. The network recently announced a global content
partnership with Black Belt Magazine, the top martial arts
magazine.
Hallypop, in partnership with Korean media giant
SBS International, is a global television network connecting fans
through Asian pop culture, putting the spotlight on music,
lifestyle and entertainment. Highlights include the top-rated K-pop
variety show Inkigayo, featuring appearances and performances by
BTS, Big Bang, IKON, Girls Generation, and more, Running Man,
pitting K-pop and K-Drama stars against each other in epic
missions; and the interactive music series After School Club.
STIRR puts the power back in the viewer’s hands,
delivering ad-supported content combining the best of local and
national news, sports, and entertainment. The STIRR app is easily
accessible on iOS and Android devices, as well as Amazon Fire TV

"Cinedigm is proud to further our partnership
with the innovative STIRR platform, following the positive
reception that CONtv and Dove Channel received earlier this year,"
