LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Family viewing just got a whole lot safer with todays debut of Dove Channel, the new direct-to-consumer over-the-top (OTT) digital streaming subscription service. For images, sizzle reel, video clips and press info visit here: http://press.dovechannel.com.
A partnership between leading independent content distribution company Cinedigm Corp.(NASDAQ: CIDM) and The Dove Foundation , Dove Channel is a subscription service available on mobile devices and smart TVs offering a vast library of handpicked family-friendly, faith-based and kids programming, with the assurance of safety and quality control at the viewers fingertips. Uniquely, all of the content on Dove Channel is sortable and searchable using the Dove rating system that ranks programs in six key criteria, including sexuality, language, violence, drug and alcohol use, nudity and other, to ensure appropriate programming for families. This one-of-a-kind programming interface is customizable based on the users preference.
A subscription-based offering at $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 Mac iOS, Samsung Smart TV, the web, and mobile and tablet devices. Additionally, the channel can be viewed on multiple devices within each family.
An obvious curator of faith and family content, The Dove Foundation is a nonprofit organization dedicated to encouraging the entertainment industry to create, produce and distribute more movies and television shows that are appropriate for family viewing. Each month, hundreds of thousands of visitors rely on The Dove Foundation for up-to-date reviews of movies, TV shows, DVDs and books. Hand-in-hand with this philosophy, the foundation is also committed to helping the public easily identify family-friendly entertainment, encouraging them to show their support for this approved content. An OTT offering is the logical extension of this philosophy.
For a long time weve known the missing link in online family entertainment has been the safety issue, and Dove Channel offers a wide array of family and faith-friendly viewing choices for kids, parents, grandparents and everyone in between, said Dick Rolfe, co-founder and CEO of The Dove Foundation .
We know that our content is in demand - our research has shown that Dove-approved films are three times more profitable than non-endorsed films.
The channel features newly acquired and original programming, as well as offerings from the vast collection of family and faith-friendly content from the Cinedigm library, offering safe, entertaining and educational programming that tells stories that reflect the best in humanity with access to some of lifes best lessons on screen.
The first exclusive offering on Dove Channel is the first season of Austentatious, which will be available on the digital platform exclusively for the month of September. A totally modern take on the beloved works of Jane Austen, themes of family, friendship, love and career are explored in ten fun-filled episodes, all included in a Dove Channel subscription.
Collectively, Dove Channel features more than 900 hours of new and original content, as well as favorite classics where leading stars such as Liam Neeson, Judd Nelson, Kevin Sorbo, Jon Voight, Halle Berry, Harry Connick Jr, Kirk Cameron, Betty White, Tim Curry and Michael Landon all come together in one appealing place.
All genres of movie and television programming are included, from comedy, sci-fi, drama, mystery and action to musicals, documentary, foreign films, biblical stories and health/wellness specials. Family classics ready to view include Highway To Heaven, Swiss Family Robinson, The Adventures of Black Beauty and the much-loved Where The Red Fern Grows. Kids content includes popular episodes of VeggieTales and the timeless tale of The Velveteen Rabbit. And for audiences seeking redemptive narratives, there are strong faith-based titles that ensure Dove Channel is the one-stop shop for all their entertainment needs.
Dove Channel is the new jewel in the crown of Cinedigms prestige digital subscription services, said Bill Sondheim, president of Cinedigm Entertainment Group. Families are more concerned than ever about quality control in their entertainment choices, and our extensive programming and Doves rigorous ratings system combine to deliver our promise that Dove Channel will always be the safest place for families to be in the online space.
