KIT digital Content Solutions has announced partnerships with three major satellite vendors to offer hybrid distribution systems in the U.S., U.K. and Europe.

The agreements are with Arqiva, Open Sky via Eutelsat and Microspace Communications.

They come on the heels of KIT digital Content Solutions being spun off from KIT Digital  as an independent company in June 2012. Its clients for digital content distribution and services include Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox, Disney/ABC, Associated Press and Vodafone.

"Our business has experienced rapid growth over the past two years across all regions, the Americas, APAC and EMEA, and therefore we felt it made perfect sense to start incorporating future digital distribution vendors into our existing DCP distribution services," explained, Alan Christensen, director, digital cinema, KIT digital Content Solutions, in a statement. "We understand the complexity of global fragmentation; and simple steps like these demonstrate that we are serious about helping to control the ever-shifting landscape in the theatrical metropolis that is Digital Cinema Distribution."
