Datsit Sphere Buys BGM from Kew

Quebec-based Datsit Sphere has completed its acquisition of the production company BGM (formerly Bristow Global Media) from Kew Media Group.

BGM was formed in 2013 to create multi-genre, multiplatform content. It is now headed by new CEO Marlo Miazga after founder Julie Bristow left the company in November of last year. Miazga said: “In 2019 BGM Inc entered into a new and exciting stage of growth and scale, expanding both our premium factual and kids’ divisions; rolling out over five new series into the global marketplace. Datsit Sphere’s diverse slate of content, across multiple platforms and genres, makes it the perfect home for our escalating ambitions.”

Bruno Dubé, president and CEO of Datsit Sphere, said: “Our strategy for some time has been to create a completely diverse, talented network of creatives. We have carefully over time become a home for excellence in all genres; animation, unscripted, documentary, fiction, distribution and feature film. BGM is one of the leaders of the Canadian domestic production scene and more crucially for us, a significant player in the international market. This acquisition is a building block toward realizing our plans to create a global, sustainable, independent production group capable of producing quality entertainment across all genres and platforms.”
