Cinedigm’s Linear and VOD Streaming Channels
to be available on Global Streaming Platform Across More than 130
million Sony PlayStations, plus Android TVs, Mobile Devices and
More
Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM) announced that the Company has partnered
with Littlstar, one of the fastest-growing and most popular
streaming services, to distribute Cinedigm's portfolio of linear
and video-on-demand channels. Littlstar is the leading provider of
premium streaming film & television content to the gaming
ecosystem, where it reaches over 100 million Sony PlayStation
consoles, and also reaches hundreds of millions of additional
streaming devices including Android TVs, mobile devices, and many
more.
Already in business with some of the top content suppliers in
the world, Littlstar currently works with Discovery, Viacom,
Showtime, and Universal and is financially backed by A&E, Sony,
Michael Eisner, WWE, Warner Bros. and others.
"Littlstar is ecstatic to partner with Cinedigm to bring their
incredible content library and streaming channels to our free and
subscription apps across hundreds of millions of Sony PlayStations,
Android TVs, mobile devices, and beyond," said Tony Mugavero,
Co-founder and CEO of Littlstar. “Cinedigm is on the pulse of what
next generation viewers want, and we're looking forward to
innovating together with them to bring cutting edge content to new
audiences.”
“Cinedigm has put together an incredible premium mix of content
and streaming channels that fit perfectly with Littlstar’s young,
global and diverse audience,” said Matt Collado, Co-founder and
Chief Content Officer of Littlstar. “Cinedigm’s collection of the
best in gaming, sports/esports, comedy and anime works incredibly
well both domestically and internationally and we’re excited to
push the envelope with them to new audiences.”
“On the distribution front, our goal is to partner with
companies that can help us reach new, highly engaged audiences,”
said Erick Opeka, President of Cinedigm Networks. “Littlstar helps
us reach the hundreds of millions of global viewers that use their
gaming consoles to stream entertainment, on top of widespread
footprint on mobile and connected televisions. With the power of
Littlstar behind us, Cinedigm will now reach more than three
quarters of a billion devices globally.”
“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,” said
Tony Huidor, Cinedigm’s General Manager of Digital Networks.
“Consumer interest in premium content remains extremely strong
within the OTT ad-supported space as traditional cable and
satellite services continue to lose subscribers seeking low-cost
alternatives and new and better options for their entertainment
needs. That’s what Cinedigm and Littlstar are delivering now.”
