Cinedigm Corp’s (NASDAQ: CIDM) Dove Channel today announced a
strategic partnership with FamilyShare Network. The multi-faceted
partnership unites one of the leading faith and family social media
networks with a trusted and safe family entertainment channel. This
unique partnership includes combined promotional opportunities for
advertisers, special family movie night screens, sales incentives
and more. Together, FamilyShare Network and Dove Channel include an
OTT Channel, 100 social media channels, 4 websites and over 100
million follows.
FAMILYSHARE NETWORK is the largest and first family-oriented
social content network. Operated by Deseret Digital Media–a leading
family-oriented media company that runs digital ventures including
leading news, travel and sports sites–FamilyShare.com is dedicated
to providing its audience with everyday, practical solutions on how
to live more fulfilling lives. 450+ contributing writers and
editors create engaging, viral content providing helpful insight
and life lessons on how to improve familial relationships for the
FamilyShare sites.
Dove Channel also serves the faith and family audience, offering
a wide variety of content from meaningful mainstream movies,
independent films, and documentaries, to heartwarming TV series and
children’s programs. The specialized streaming service offers
families a safe entertainment choice utilizing The Dove Foundation™
rating system, which ranks programs in six key areas: sexuality,
language, violence, drug and alcohol use, nudity, and other, to
ensure appropriate programming for families.
“We share the same core values and audience,” said Faye Walker,
SVP Marketing & Acquisitions. “Each of our respective companies
is focused on providing valuable information and services to
families. Our partnership is a natural outcrop of our collective
missions, and provides advertisers with a unique and valuable
opportunity if they want to reach women, ages 18-44.”
Dove Channel’s subscription-based offering is $4.99 per month.
The programming can be viewed across a broad spectrum of connected
devices including Roku Players and Roku TV models, Android and iOS,
Samsung Smart TV, the Web, and mobile and tablet devices.
Additionally, Dove Channel, along with Cinedigm’s CONtv and
Docurama, are available to Amazon Prime members as part of Amazon’s
new Streaming Partners Program. Prime members can view Cinedigm’s
channels with the Amazon Video app available across hundreds of
devices. Later this month, Dove Channel, along with CONtv will be
available on LeEco smart phones and TVs.
"Content consumption patterns show how families today care about
media, and how it impacts their lives and the lives of their
children. Cinedigm, via the Dove Channel, is uniquely positioned to
provide wholesome, relevant content through adaptive platforms to
our ever demanding audiences,” said Saul I. Leal, General Manager
of FamilyShare Network. “The FamilyShare Network is eager to embark
in this partnership to offer trusted content from the Dove
Foundation to millions of people worldwide.”
All Dove Channel content is sortable and searchable, and
homeschoolers will soon be able to easily create customized,
password-protected “shelves” where exclusive videos and curriculum
can be stored for a personalized homeschool network. Dove Channel
currently offers over 300 homeschooling titles, and shelving
curriculum categories include Bible studies, science, literature,
and history — all organized by age, offering engaging video content
in accordance with the Dove Faith & Family Seal of Approval.
The proprietary rating system and family filter tool also allows
parents to customize viewing preferences for their families.
