Remarked Cinedigm President & Chief Strategy Officer Erick Opeka, "Cinedigm's agreement with Amazon Freevee is yet another step in our strategy to expand the audience for Real Madrid's streaming channel. In hearing fans of Real Madrid reverentially speaking about their unwavering passion for the players and its incredible championship pedigree, it's very easy to understand why it's called the most valuable football brand in the world."

Said Cinedigm Vice President of Business Development & Strategy, Jennifer Soltesz, "Now Amazon Freevee viewers will have the opportunity to expand their horizons and recapture their youth with El Rey Network & NacellePop. Both unique, with diverse programming, the launch of these channels allows Freevee to connect with an even broader audience.

More on El Rey Network
Launched in 2013 as a linear channel, El Rey Network quickly became a home for fans of fearless, action-packed and inclusive programming and was touted as a breakthrough in its voice and directive to increase representation. Curated by iconic director Robert Rodriguez and his artistic collective, the Latinx-inclusive, English-language channel speaks to Rodriguez's vision to create a destination that more fully represents the changing face of America and the most culturally diverse generation in history.

In 2021, Cinedigm relaunched El Rey Network as a free ad-supported streaming service, packed with the best content from the original channel. This includes Rodriguez's thoughtful conversations with creatives like John Carpenter and Quentin Tarantino in "The Director's Chair"; "Rebel Without A Crew: The Series," in which filmmakers set out to make their first feature under Rodriguez's guidance; a library of unscripted franchises including "The Chuey Martinez Show"; and feature films that run the genre gamut from grindhouse to cult classic action to horror/sci-fi.
