- Blue Ant Media Corporation is an international streamer, production studio and rights-management business that develops, produces, distributes and monetizes premium content across streaming, broadcast and linear television platforms. Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, the company operates in Canada and internationally, with a presence in the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia and Singapore. Its portfolio includes free streaming and pay TV channels and brands such as Love Nature, Cottage Life, Smithsonian Channel Canada, BBC Earth Canada, HauntTV, Homeful and Love Pets, as well as the subscription streaming service MagellanTV; its studio operations produce factual, lifestyle, documentary, entertainment, kids, youth, family, comedy, drama and animation content through Blue Ant Studios, Insight Productions, Atomic Cartoons and Jam Filled Entertainment, while its rights business manages content distribution, licensing and consumer products across global markets. In 2026, Blue Ant restructured its Global Channels & Streaming and Rights businesses into a single Blue Ant Rights & Streaming unit, appointed Mark Bishop as Chief Monetization Officer and Matt Hornburg as Chief Content Officer, and reorganized operations into three segments: Rights & Streaming, Studios and Canadian Media. Earlier in 2026, the company repositioned Blue Ant Studios around a genre-led model, streamlined studio branding, expanded rights capabilities in kids and family sales, licensing and consumer products, and following its January 2026 acquisition of Thunderbird Entertainment and its 2025 reverse takeover of Boat Rocker Media, significantly expanded its scale, catalog and leadership structure.
