Canamedia to Rep CABLEready Catalogue in Canada

TORONTO: Canamedia has picked up the exclusive Canadian distribution rights to the CABLEready catalogue, which has more than 1,100 hours of programming that spans genres such as lifestyle, factual, entertainment and more.

CABLEready is home to a number of titles from TV Guide, LMNO Productions, REELZ and SnagFilms. Its catalogue includes a raft of TV Guide specials, the interview series Inside the Actors Studio and a number of indie films, among other titles.

“CABLEready has established itself as one of the foremost international television program distribution and development companies,” said Mike Lolato, the managing director of worldwide sales and development for Canamedia. “And we are thrilled to represent their extensive program catalogue to our Canadian content buyers.”

“We’ve known, respected and been inspired by the guys at Canamedia over the years, so it’s a pleasure to partner with them. As Canada becomes a tougher place to do business, we believe Canamedia can guide our producers and programs through the maze,” added Gary Lico, the president and CEO of CABLEready.
