Cinedigm said it reached an agreement with FreeCast that will put 11 of Cinedigms ad-supported streaming channels on SelectTV and other services using FreeCast’s SmartGuide technology.
"We're excited to work with Cinedigm and add their channels to SelectTV, because that's what this business has always been all about. We help consumers get access to channels that match their interests, and we help programmers reach audiences that are interested in their content. And we do it for both much more affordably than traditional TV networks and providers do."

FreeCast said its SmartGuide is a low-cost distribution platform for linear and on-demand TV. It monetizes content with dynamic ad insertion technology that makes channels with smaller audiences viable.
The Cinedigm channels are Bambu, Bloody Disgusting, The Bob Ross Channel, ComedyDynamics, CONtv, ContvAnime, Docurama, Dove Channel, MyTime, So...Real and Whistle Sports.
