Frndly TV & A+E Networks Sign Broad Distribution Pact

Frndly TV, the leading affordable live TV provider for the whole family, and A+E Networks®, TODAY announced a multi-year distribution agreement that brings A+E Networks' portfolio of highly rated brands - including A&E®, The HISTORY Channel™ and Lifetime® -- to all Frndly TV subscribers. The announcement was made by Michael McKenna, Chief Programming Officer of Frndly TV, and David Zagin, President of Distribution for A+E Networks.

In addition to A&E, The HISTORY Channel and Lifetime, Frndly TV subscribers will also receive Lifetime Movie Network® (LMN), FYI®, Military HISTORY®, ViceTV® and complementary video on demand programming.

Starting on Thursday, November 18, the seven channels will begin to premiere on Frndly TV.

"The addition of the seven A+E Networks' channels is a seminal event in Frndly TV's growth," said McKenna. "Our customers are both loyal and vocal -- and they have asked us about adding the great A+E Networks' content. Working with the good folks at A+E, we are now able to add outstanding quality to our programming lineup with some of the most desired and loved channels in all TV."

Said Zagin: "We are excited to partner with Frndly TV and to make our award-winning content available to their devoted subscriber base.
