LOS
ANGELES, Jan. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Cineverse
Corp. (NASDAQ: CNVS), a global streaming technology and
entertainment company with one of the world's largest portfolios of
streaming channels and content libraries, today announced that its
newest free, ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channel –
Dog Whisperer with Cesar
Millan – has launched on Amazon Freevee. This is
the ninth channel from Cineverse's portfolio to launch on Amazon
Freevee, joining The Bob Ross Channel, Comedy Dynamics, Dove
Channel, Midnight Pulp, Nacelle Pop, Real Madrid TV, RetroCrush and
SCREAMBOX TV.
Available now, the new linear channel brings all nine seasons
and 160-plus episodes of the award-winning series, which originally
ran on the National Geographic Channel, to streaming. On the new
Dog Whisperer with Cesar
Millan channel, fans can watch every episode of the
beloved animal show, which has welcomed guest celebrities such as
Jada Pinkett Smith, Denise Richards, Howie
Mandel and Virginia
Madsen. National Geographic's most popular series for
six years, it at one point attracted more than 10 million viewers
per week.
Cineverse, which secured U.S. and Canadian rights to distribute
the series from Dog Whisperer Productions in 2023, negotiated the
distribution with these initial partners. Its Cineverse Ad
Solutions team is handling ad sales for the new channel, and the
company utilized its proprietary content and audience management
platform Matchpoint™ Dispatch to quickly get the channel up and
running.
"Cesar Millan is a one-of-a-kind
talent with the unique ability to connect with animals and animal
lovers alike in a compelling, entertaining way. We are delighted to
offer new and existing Dog Whisperer fans the opportunity to
watch this FAST Channel on Amazon Freevee," said Cineverse
Executive Vice President of Partnerships Marc Rashba. "Thanks to the team behind our
Matchpoint technology suite, and our internal and external
partners, we were able to bring this new channel to life in a fast
and efficient manner. We look forward to adding even more
distribution in the coming months."
Dog Whisperer with Cesar
Millan made its debut in 2004 as thirty-minute episodes
on the National Geographic Channel. The following year, the series
transitioned to primetime and became a one-hour program. By 2010,
the show had entered syndication via FOX, greatly expanding its
audience reach. It also expanded internationally, available in more
than 80 countries.

ABOUT DOG WHISPERER PRODUCTIONS
Episodes of "Dog
Whisperer with Cesar Millan"
featured guests' problem dogs, introduced through documentary-style
footage, and an interview with the owners. Millan offered
suggestions on how the owners could become their pet's "pack
leader," consistent with the theory that dogs are
pack animals. He used behavior modification techniques
and the philosophy that exercise, discipline, and affection are
required "in that order" for dogs to be healthy and balanced.
