Mediapro Canada Acquires Tri-Lite TV

Mediapro Canada has added to its production capacity through the acquisition of Canadian media services company Tri-Lite TV.

As a production company, Tri-Lite TV has been in the Canadian marketplace for more than 20 years. It also boasts a production center with 500-square-meters of studio space, MCRs, technical systems and equipment for the production of events covering a wide range of sports, entertainment and news both in Canada and the U.S.

Mediapro recently acquired the global media rights for the next ten years to the Canadian Premier League.

Chris Priess, president of Tri-Lite TV, has joined the Mediapro team in Canada as general manager of broadcast services. Priess said: “Joining Mediapro is certainly a proud moment for myself and the rest of our great team. We are excited to be working with Óscar and the wealth of experience everyone brings as we quickly expand our services to all our valued clients. We are just getting started, and further expansion is already being planned. We are very excited about the future.”

Óscar López, CEO of Mediapro Canada, commented: “Tri-Lite TV was ideally suited for our expansion given their remote broadcast experience and their diverse customer base, and it is respected for the quality of service it delivers. We see it as a natural fit within our business and look forward to working with Chris and the rest of the team to continue to grow Mediapro throughout North America.”
