Ontario Superior Court of Justice has given approval for Australian distributors Beyond International Limited (Beyond), to proceed with its $2.6m acquisition of non-scripted specialists TCB Media Rights from FTI Consulting Canada Inc.
The deal was struck via Kew Media Group administrators, FTI Consulting Canada.
UK-based TCB’s portfolio includes Abandoned Engineering, Combat Ships, Egypt’s Unexplained Mysteries, and the recently announced Extreme Ice Machines and Hitler’s Supercars.
Beyond Managing Director Mikael Borglund said: “This acquisition further strengthens Beyond’s business both domestically and internationally.
“TCB Media Rights’ extensive catalogue of non-scripted factual programming is extremely complementary to ours, with many of the same customers worldwide and ongoing relationships with producers in the UK, USA, Canada and Australia.
“Beyond Distribution and TCB Media Rights will continue to operate as full-service distribution companies for the foreseeable future, and I am looking forward to welcoming the TCB Media Rights team to the Beyond Group.”
Kew Media was placed in receivership on Feb. 28.
