NOV. 3 | S’more Entertainment has signed a multi-year DVD, CD and digital output agreement with Ryko Distribution.

Effective immediately, Ryko will distribute S’more’s DVD and digital catalog in the U.S. Starting in January 2009, Ryko will begin handling S’more’s new releases across the three formats.

Among the first new DVD titles to street under the S’more/Ryko deal are Alexander Fodor’s Hamlet and deluxe TV box sets of The Shari Lewis Show and Cagney & Lacey.

Previously, Image Entertainment distributed S’more's titles to retail.

“Ryko Distribution is an industry leader in the creative sales and marketing of high-quality and unique programming,” S’more president Arny Schorr said. “I’m looking forward to working with everyone at Ryko and expanding our business to better encompass current and future home entertainment formats.”

Jim Cuomo, Ryko’s president, added, “S’more Entertainment’s classic titles and programming are a natural complement to our growing independent group of titles.”
