Knight Enterprises & Magee TV Join Forces

TORONTO/OTTAWA: The newly formed Knight Magee Industries, jointly owned by Knight Enterprises and Magee TV, will focus on the development, production and distribution of original content across all platforms and brand extensions.

Chris Knight, the president of Knight Enterprises, and Al Magee, the president of Magee TV, will serve as co-CEOs of the new venture and retain their current offices and staff in both Ottawa and Toronto. The first project from Knight Magee Industries will be the recently announced TV movie based on the life of Canadian mountie Sir Samuel Benfield Steele.

“Creating Knight Magee Industries puts us in a perfect position to take advantage of a new branding attitude to the business of content creation,” said Knight. “The decision to use Industries in our new company’s name speaks directly to our strategy of designing content brands that move seamlessly across multiple revenue streams, platforms and consumer businesses.”

“This partnership builds on our complementary strengths in today’s evolving world of converged media,” added Magee. “Our respective companies are known for creating innovative content of exceptional quality that rewards those who choose to invest their time with us. Knight Magee Industries was created to expand that relationship over new points of consumer contact.”
