Premiere Digital, the Media Services, Distribution and Technology Solutions company has acquired CMI Media Management.

CMI is a preferred service provider to the IFE industry and handles Hollywood content shown in-flight.

Premiere Digital said the acquisition will allow the company to expand its reach to offer comprehensive media services to filmed content owners across all entertainment markets, augmenting its end-to-end media solutions.

Mark Lazar, CEO of Premiere Digital said the acquisition: “In combination with our services, technology and resources, will allow us to have a wider and deeper reach into new markets and offer an even broader spectrum of services to our clients.” 

CMI will remain focused on IFE from its headquarters in Stamford, Connecticut, while Premiere Digital will continue to consider further strategic acquisition and partnership opportunities – including in in-flight entertainment, it said.

“PDS’s capabilities, especially in the areas of digital streaming and delivery, will considerably strengthen CMI’s position as IFE continues to grow and technological innovation gains pace,” added Haitham Wahab of CMI. Wahab and Ken Wynne will continue to lead CMI.
