STIRR is adding to its free channel lineup again today, with three new channels from DMR launching on the platform.
The three channels include RetroCrush for classic anime, Midnight Pulp for horror and thrillers, and Cinehouse for independent films.
Said DMR Co-Founder and CEO David Chu, “We are excited to partner with STIRR to launch two new linear FAST channels, and expand the reach of Midnight Pulp. Over its first year in business, STIRR has shown tremendous growth while engaging with consumers across America, and we look forward to helping the platform expand its channel portfolio through the curated content on which our company has built its reputation over the last decade.”
“DMR has a host of content not offered by others in the space, and their channels are going to bring some of the most popular cult classics to the STIRR platform,” said Ben Lister, director of content acquisition and business development for STIRR. “Our audiences have come to expect STIRR to offer a wide variety of free programming, and this partnership furthers that mission.”
