Aside from V and Noovo.ca, Groupe V M\u00e9dia currently operates the specialty channels ELLE Fictions and MAX (which are not part of the transaction).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith today\u2019s announcement Bell Media welcomes French-language conventional TV to its portfolio, creating more opportunities for viewers, advertisers, and content creators in Qu\u00e9bec,\u201d said Karine Moses, president of Bell Media Qu\u00e9bec. \u201cIn a fast-changing ecosystem, we are excited to provide new opportunities for V with the guidance and expertise of our dedicated and experienced Montr\u00e9al-based management, programming, and production teams. We look forward to continuing to work closely with the local Francophone production community in delivering highly engaging original programming on V. We salute Maxime R\u00e9millard and his team for their work in bringing V to where it is now, and we thank them for trusting Bell Media to ensure the long-term legacy of the network.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter 10 years of ensuring V\u2019s success as an independent conventional channel, I am proud to have found in Bell Media a partner to ensure the continuity of this success,\u201d said Maxime R\u00e9millard, president and founder of Groupe V M\u00e9dia. \u201cThe industry in which we are evolving is constantly, deeply and rapidly changing. This was true when we took over the reins of TQS and allowed the network to survive; it is all the more true today. As it is increasingly difficult to ensure the sustainability of a conventional channel within a non-integrated group, I have made the best decision for the future of V. Bell Media will certainly allow V to continue to evolve and reach out to the Qu\u00e9bec public on a massive scale.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bell Media has entered into an agreement with the shareholders of Groupe V M\u00e9dia to acquire the network V along with related digital assets such as the ad-supported VOD service Noovo.ca.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":2569,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[93],"class_list":["post-2568","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-bell-media"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
