GMX Expands to Over 600 Companies and Over 7,000 Film and TV Series Titles Available to Programmers Worldwide

Only seven months after its official launch, Global Media Exchange (GMX), the online global B2B video marketplace powered by Ascent Media Group, announced that it now has over 7,000 film and TV titles for licensing, further establishing its position as one of the world’s fastest growing online communities for video programmers and distributors. Additionally, GMX has to date, secured over 600 international distributors and broadcasters as members, including The MGM Channel, Discovery Networks, Al Jazeera Documentary Channel, Televisa Digital, Globo, and Fox Latin American Channels.

GMX will be present at MIPTV in Cannes, France, April 12-16 2010 at booth #G3.15 and is inviting all MIPTV attendees to a showcase of the online global marketplace’s latest features, including an online sponsorship program for media companies. The demo will also include lunch, on Tuesday, April 13 at 12:30pm – 2:30pm at the GMX booth.

Launched in October 2009, GMX is a B2B worldwide video marketplace available 24/7 365 days a year, where buyers and sellers can market and transact with professionally produced film and television programming from around the world. The ability to browse, search and ultimately close a deal is only minutes away as the GMX platform also provides the most flexible and secure solutions to monetize inventory and improve communications and transactions from suppliers to customers for all video formats and genres.

“I’m excited to bring GMX to MIPTV this year as the premiere online B2B marketplace, helping distributors showcase and promote their programs to a global community of buyers,” said Mara Sternthal, SVP of business development for GMX.

As part of its expansion strategy, GMX has also been aggressively developing successful relationships with industry organizations such as NATPE, as well as local film festivals including the Indian Film Festival in Los Angeles (IFFLA) and the Nashville Film Festival (NaFF).
