LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Cinedigm Corp. (NASDAQ: CIDM) today announced an expanded partnership
with leading global company LeEco to launch two additional streaming
channels. Docurama and a yet-to-be named entertainment channel
currently in development will launch on LeEco in Q1 2017. Cinedigm
already has two over-the-top streaming channels — Dove Channel
and CONtv– available to LeEco consumers on LeEco’s ecophones and
ecotvs. In addition, select Cinedigm content is also available within
LIVE, LeEco’s innovative integrated content app. The two companies
continue to explore additional partnership opportunities for channels
and content both domestically and overseas.

LeEco is a leading global company that provides breakthrough experiences
through an open, integrated ecosystem of streaming content, enabled by
its Internet and cloud platform, and a wide array of next-generation
connected smart devices – including smartphones, TVs, bikes, VR and
electric cars.

DOCURAMA, a documentary-focused channel, provides over 300
award-winning films and television episodes. The yet-to-be named
entertainment channel will be focused on mainstream entertainment
content. Both channels are expected to launch in the first quarter of
2017.

Previously announced, Cinedigm already has two channels accessible
within LeEco’s ecosystem:

  • DOVE CHANNEL, which is targeted to the family
    audience and offers meaningful mainstream movies, independent films,
    documentaries and heartwarming TV series and children’s programs. All
    of Dove Channel’s carefully curated content reflects the time-honored
    standards of The Dove Foundation and its trusted Seal of Approval.
  • CONtv, which is targeted to the enormous
    and avid Comic Con audience, comprised largely of Millennials. The
    channel currently boasts 2,500 hours of original programming, curated
    films and TV episodes, and exclusive Comic Con panel coverage from
    dozens of annual nationwide conventions.

“We are very pleased to further expand this exciting partnership with
LeEco,” said Erick Opeka, EVP of Digital Networks for Cinedigm. “As we
launch OUR four streaming channels on their ecosystem, we also look
forward to pursuing additional business opportunities with LeEco both in
North America and abroad.”
