Pivot Picks Comcast Wholesale

Pivot, Participant Media's new network targeting Millennials (18-34), has selected the Comcast (NASDAQ:CMCSA) Wholesale media platforms to provide multiplatform content delivery services.The Pivot TV channel is now available via the HITS "Q2" SD satellite platform on AMC 18. Because HITS uses technology that builds upon MPEG-2 infrastructure, Pivot's carriage on HITS provides the network's affiliates using MPEG-2 with an alternative to purchasing the additional equipment required for MPEG-4 satellite feeds.In addition, Pivot has tapped the Comcast Wholesale VOD content delivery platform to manage distribution of its Pivot on-demand programming.
