Mr. Bill Coming to Amazon Unbox

DMGI, which owns the digital distribution rights to a variety of video programming, announces a deal with Amazon to offer downloadable content.

Digital Music Group (DMGI), a digital distributor of independently owned music, television, film and video catalogs, announced today they are bringing more than 4,000 hours of video content to the Amazon Unbox video download service. This content, which includes some well known television shows, will begin debuting this summer.

DMGI currently controls the digital distribution rights to a variety of programming ranging from classic television shows such as "Gumby," "I Spy," "My Favorite Martian," and "The Mr. Bill Show" to comedy from Sam Kinison, Andrew Dice Clay, and Jamie Foxx, to contemporary content from superstar illusionist Criss Angel. Amazon Unbox is not the first digital video service DMGI has signed to put its content on – it also has deals with YouTube, the iTunes Store, Google Video, and In2TV, among others.

"We are very excited to be working with Amazon.com," said Mitchell Koulouris, Chief Executive Officer of DMGI, in a statement. "Amazon.com is a leading online retailer, and we are particularly pleased to add Amazon Unbox to our expanding set of video channel distributors. This agreement will help bring DMGI’s quality video content to the millions of loyal Amazon customers around the world."
