 FOR RELEASE ON: TUESDAY, JULY 11, 2023 

LOS ANGELES – MuxIP, a leading provider of automated solutions for ad-supported streaming, today announced that it has delivered Free Ad Supported Streaming Television (FAST) FAST channels for Crimeflix, a leading provider of retro crime films and TV shows. The global distribution – on Sling TV, Roku, LG, and Amazon FreeVee – includes such premier content as ‘RoboCop,’ ‘Universal Solider,’ ‘Pacific Blue,’ ‘Max Havoc,’ ‘In the Line of Duty,’ ‘Ambush in Waco,’ and thirteen Mary Higgins Clark films. At launch, Crimeflix will have more than 150 hours of content available on the channel in fully dubbed English, French, and Spanish versions (with German to follow), exemplifying a premium single IP FAST channel offering for superfans of specific genres. 

 Crimeflix was created by John Laing, CEO of Rallie LLC, an acquisition company that licenses library content, including its inventory from the PKE (Patchett-Kaufman) library.  

 “The crime genre is one of the most extensively watched, followed, and distributed of all, and the streaming era has expanded the global appeal of crime shows and films,” said Laing. “We see Crimeflix as an ever-growing entity, as library content moves into the passion vertical that drives so much funding and distribution deals worldwide. In any language in the global TV distribution market, crime does, in fact, pay.” 

 MuxIP enables Crimeflix to be distributed to all Smart TVs and a wide range of devices, leveraging patented technology that lowers costs and increases revenue generation more than competing solutions, MuxIP’s FASTHub for OTT and FASTHub for Broadcast provide a single platform with universal delivery. 

 “The value of high-recognition single IP channels is still growing, and this relates to greater distribution and higher viewership, and higher CPMs on the ad side,” said Jonathan French, senior vice president of sales and business development for MuxIP. “The Crimeflix channel is an ideal magnet for the crime genre, given the premium shows and movies that have tremendous global recognition. We expect this to gain wider distribution interest and lead in its category.”
