About Blue Ant Media

Blue Ant Media is an international media company that combines content production, global rights distribution, linear pay-TV networks and free ad-supported streaming television channels. Founded in Toronto in 2011, it grew from an independent Canadian broadcaster into a multi-platform business working across factual, natural-history, scripted, unscripted and kids-and-family programming.

Its business is organised around three integrated pillars: Blue Ant Studios, Blue Ant Rights & Streaming, and Canadian Media. Blue Ant Studios develops and produces original IP as well as third-party service work, while Blue Ant Rights & Streaming handles international distribution, licensing, co-production financing and channel management. The company also operates consumer lifestyle events and advertising-sales representation through Media Pulse.

Content and channels

Blue Ant’s programming interests include natural history and wildlife, documentaries, factual entertainment, reality and competition formats, scripted comedy and drama, and 2D and 3D animation. Its owned media portfolio includes the global natural-history brand Love Nature, alongside Cottage Life, Smithsonian Channel Canada, BBC Earth Canada, HauntTV, Homeful, HistoryTime, Love Pets and the subscription streaming service MagellanTV.

Selected production credits include:

  • Blown Away, Canada’s Drag Race and The Great Canadian Baking Show
  • Kim’s Convenience, The Amazing Race Canada and Mr. Dressup: The Magic of Make-Believe
  • Drink Masters, Best in Miniature and Mysteries from Above
  • Davey & Jonesie’s Locker, Doomlands and Tralala

Recent expansion

Blue Ant acquired marblemedia in 2023, completed a reverse takeover of Boat Rocker Media in August 2025, and acquired Thunderbird Entertainment Group in January 2026. Those transactions expanded its production and animation operations, including Jam Filled Entertainment and Atomic Cartoons. Blue Ant Media Corporation is publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker BAMI.
