“Growing our digital distribution business forms a key part of our commercial strategy,” said Mike Gould, senior VP of digital at Cineflix Rights. “We have seen double-digit revenue growth from this activity over the past year and see further potential as we roll out our brands direct-to-consumer through our owned channels as well as in partnerships with other platforms. This deal with Love TV Channels reflects our ability to offer a variety of partnership and financing models to bring some of the world’s biggest television franchises to the widest range of platforms.”
