LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / November 19, 2021 / Cinedigm (NASDAQ:CIDM), the leading independent streaming company super-serving enthusiast fan bases, announced today that The Country Network (TCN), a popular channel for fans of Country music, launched on The Roku Channel, the home of free and premium entertainment on the Roku® platform.
TCN, which is currently distributed on cable & OTA systems in more than 51 markets and 40 Million DMA households, announced their intent this past summer to expand the channel's footprint across the exploding streaming ecosystem via the creation of a FAST Linear Channel. This launch marks a major milestone for TCN, as Roku becomes the first streaming platform to carry the channel's linear offering in the United States.
