History
DG was formerly known as DG FastChannel and was created when DG Systems and FastChannel Networks merged in 2006.[4]
DG Systems used satellite technology for advertising content distribution, which reduced the reliance on tape distribution. DG Systems created a hybrid system that allowed for content delivery through either the satellite distribution system or through the Internet.[5]
FastChannel Networks used the Internet for delivery of content. FastChannel Networks created a Web-based interface for developing, managing and delivering advertising content. Using the Web, post houses, advertisers and agencies were able to collaborate, manage and distribute advertising content through an online application.
In 2011 [6]DG began buying up digital ad serving technologies in the online space, specifically focussed on Rich Media vendors with global reach. Such companies include Mediamind Technologies, EyeWonder and the Unicast platform.
