Cinedigm (NASDAQ: CIDM), a leader in the operation of free,
ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channels, announced that
three of the Company’s channels,
The Bob Ross Channel,
Comedy Dynamics and
So…Real, are included
in today’s launch of NBCUniversal’s new streaming service Peacock.
The service is home to thousands of hours of premium content,
including curated channels. Fans of a lean-back viewing experience
will gravitate toward channels, which is a traditional guide full
of content aggregated in a modern way to showcase live events,
linear feeds and 24/7 playlists. Channels resonated especially
well with cord-cutters during Peacock’s early preview with Comcast
Xfinity customers.
Peacock included the following channels from Cinedigm’s growing
portfolio of premium linear channels:
1. The Bob Ross Channel - The official Bob Ross
channel! Get your daily dose of the iconic, bucolic pop culture
icon. Features instructional television programming from Bob Ross’s
entire catalog of 380 classic episodes that aired from 1983 to 1994
on PBS.

collection of stand-up comedy. It’s a no-drink minimum stand-up
show 24/7, with the top names of comedy in new & classic
performances.
3. So…Real - Brilliantly curated from the best
of British & Australian reality television content, So…Real

lives.
