FilmBox Channels Added to WorldRelay Platform

AUSTIN/NEW YORK: The channels FilmBox Arthouse, Fast&FunBox and FightBox are now available on the WorldRelay platform, which offers online access to TV content worldwide.

WorldRelay curates and markets independent TV channels for distribution with tablets and smart TVs. It is available currently on the iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.  Android and set-top-box versions will be available later this year.

FilmBox brand channels are distributed by Filmbox International, a wholly owned subsidiary of Kino Polska TV, whose majority stakeholder is SPI International.

Troy Harvey, the VP of content acquisition at WorldRelay, said: “We are very excited about our partnership with SPI International. The ‘Box’ channels stand out from traditional cable channels with their originality, independence and European flair. Our Beta testing has shown a great deal of interest in these channels in North America and we are confident that our subscribers will love them.”

“We are glad to introduce our channels on the WorldRelay as this service can reach subscribers worldwide,” said Loni Farhi, the president of SPI International. “We have been working hard on creating a package of thematic channels with a global distribution and viewership potential, and WorldRelay is just the right partner with whom we make our channels easily accessible on various screens anywhere in the world.”
