HIDIVE FIRES UP DUBCAST℠ SERVICE DELIVERING EARLY ACCESS DUBS FOR SELECT SIMULCAST PROGRAMMING BEGINNING SPRING 2018

Houston, TX, March 23, 2018 – HIDIVE announced today that it will launch its much anticipated DUBCAST℠ feature beginning the Spring 2018 simulcast season. The new service provides subscribers early access to dubbed versions of select programming. This will complement the subtitled simulcast programming HIDIVE already features on the service each simulcast season. DUBCAST enabled shows will offer subscribers local-language dubbed versions within two weeks following the first simulcast with an initial focus on English-language versions.

“We are extremely pleased to continue to enhance HIDIVE’s value proposition by providing subscribers with one of their most frequently requested features: early access to dubbed content, through the addition of our DUBCAST feature,” said John Ledford, President and CEO of HIDIVE. “The localization, studio operations, and creative teams that power HIDIVE are some of the best in the business and we intend to leverage their experience spanning across three decades to deliver compelling local-language dubbed editions to fans in record time.”
