Mark Berry's AMG Set To Expand Into General Entertainment TV

Its Asian move Could Be A Game Changer For The independent Asian TV Industry. End Quote

(1888PressRelease) July 18, 2015 - Toronto - Canada's AMG, already a major player in licensing global media rights through its AMG Visuals brand, is set to expand into general entertainment programming. The new expansion service will initially roll-out across the Asian world in the coming months through its output deal with KDigital and could be a potential game changer for a region that has traditionally been dominated by the majors.

The reasons behind the expansion into general entertainment fare are simple. With the company reaching a ceiling in terms of acquisitions - AMG exec Mark Berry now wants to target an international audience. To that end, they have already begun serious discussions with a number of U.S. media content providers about taking over international licensing rights series when they expire. First on board is Shami Media Group in NYC with its strong indie film catalog.

The entertainment landscape is changing rapidly across the Asian world. Two thirds of the Asian world's population of 1.3 billion people is under the age of 40. That youthful market is a hungry consumer of entertainment. While broadband penetration can be patchy across the region, mobile penetration is through the roof. There are more mobile phones than there are people.

In a even more significant move, the company finally confirmed this week its long-in-the-works acquisition of the live James Brown concert film for pay TV and general broadcast. While the company's initial focus appears to be on western entertainment, for it to truly establish itself it will need to move into local Asian language programming.
