Alliance Entertainment’s Distribution Solutions Launches Digital Content Partnership with Future Today

SUNRISE, Fla., Sept. 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Distribution Solutions, a division of Alliance Entertainment (NASDAQ: AENT), has announced a new partnership with Future Today, a leading distribution company in the digital space. This partnership will allow Distribution Solutions to expand their reach and offer viewers even more options for its licensed and owned video content.

Future Today, developer and operator of a portfolio of hundreds of owned & operated channels on advertising video on-demand platforms, will create, launch, and manage two ad-supported Apps for Alliance: MOVIESPREE™ and NCircle TV.

MOVIESPREE™ will feature content across genres, offering free-with-ads content from licensed and produced movie and TV collections including documentary, horror, drama, comedy, romance, and more.

NCircle TV is the rebrand of the children’s programming brand, BusyBee TV, to expand beyond the preschool age audience. NCircle TV is home to thousands of hours of free TV and movies, including a broader array of licensed content such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario, The Cat in the Hat, The Legend of Zelda, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, and Inspector Gadget.

"We are excited to partner with Future Today and offer our film and TV content to even more customers," said Distribution Solutions President, Ben Means. "This partnership allows us to expand our reach on the ad-supported streaming digital platforms.”

This agreement expands the existing relationship with Future Today, which currently publishes and syndicates Distribution Solutions’ content across their owned & operated channels, including Fawesome and HappyKids.

"We are thrilled to partner with Distribution Solutions," said Future Today’s SVP David Di Lorenzo, "This partnership will allow us to continue to bring quality content to ad-supported CTV (Connected TV) audiences across multiple devices."

This partnership is the latest in a series of moves by Distribution Solutions to expand their digital business and offer their customers more options. With Future Today's support, MOVIESPREE and NCircle TV will be distributed by dozens of major OTT (Over-the-Top) platforms, including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Comcast Xfinity, and others.
