Collectively, the company will distribute a total of 289 hours worth of content through these package deals. “We work very closely with some amazing producers who are at the top of their game when it comes to factual content, so when we finalize deals with streaming services, it's extremely satisfying to know their programs are reaching new global audiences,” Gilroy continues.
