Bounce TV has reached individual multiyear licensing agreements for a slew of African-American films from four studios: Walt Disney, Miramax, Sony Pictures Television and MGM Domestic Television Distribution.

Some of the movies that Bounce TV has acquired are What's Love Got to Do With It, Mr. 3000, Cool Runnings, Scary Movie 2, School Daze and Cooley High.

"As research consistently points to movies driving demand for our consumers, African-American theatricals will remain the backbone of Bounce TV's schedule. We continue to add to our wide-ranging library with attractive titles featuring the most popular stars of our day from the top studios in Hollywood," commented Bounce TV COO Jonathan Katz.

Launched last fall, Bounce TV is available in 75% of African-American households and 65 million homes nationally.
