The addition of free, ad-supported video content from Cineverse is just the latest evolution of Spotify.
Is there room in the streaming marketplace for another video service? Most conventional wisdom these days seems to point in the opposite direction; the onset of new streaming bundles shows that many executives think now is the time for consolidation. But Spotify looks to be moving in the opposite direction and announced on Tuesday that it would be welcoming video content from Cineverse that users of the otherwise audio platform will be able to watch.
Key Details: Titles coming to Spotify include “Dog Whisperer with Caesar Milan,” comedy specials and more. The music streamer is planning to offer more premium subscription options going forward. Video related to podcasts offered on Spotify makes the most sense for the platform to import in the future. Sign Up Free cineverse.com

Cineverse has teamed up with content creator and distributor 9 Story Media Group on a new free, ad-supported streaming television (Fast) channel that offers classic episodes of the animated series “Garfield & Friends.”
The content stream, called “9 Story Presents: Garfield & Friends Channel,” offers all 121 episodes of the classic cartoon series, along with 12 specials and two direct-to-video titles, the companies said.
The Garfield & Friends channel is launching first on Echostar’s Sling Freestream, which is available through the Sling TV app on phones, tablets and streaming TV platforms like Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Android TV (Google TV) and Apple TV. As the name implies, Sling Freestream is free to access and does not require a subscription to Sling TV, though subscribers of Sling TV also have access to the channel.

A recent report from Horowitz Research shows that Black audiences are severely underserved by free, ad-supported TV (Fast) channels in the United States. Digital entertainment conglomerate Cinedigm is attempting to reverse that trend, or at least to improve the amount of Fast content made intentionally for Black viewers.
Cinedigm is partnering with Fubu to launch the “For Us By Us Network.” The new channel aims to serve the growing appetite for new and fresh content in Black households and for viewers looking for otherwise untold stories on television. Cinedigm will distribute the channel, which will appear on many different Fast services, though the company did not specify which outlets would be carrying the channel initially. It’s highly likely that Cinedigm’s free streaming service Cineverse will offer the channel when it launches.
