ADN partners with Amagi to connect with anime enthusiasts

Amagi, a global leader in SaaS for broadcast and streaming TV on the cloud, today announced that it is working with Anime Digital Network (ADN) for the playout and distribution of ADN’s new French anime channel to Samsung TV Plus. By tapping into its vast network of Free Ad Supported Television (FAST) platform partnerships, Amagi will also create a delivery strategy for ADN to further increase the channel’s reach.

Anime Digital Network (ADN) is a leading subscription-based video-on-demand and OTT platform exclusively dedicated to anime and manga.
