  Our Company
 

Canamedia was founded in 1978 and is one of Canada’s longest established distribution
and production companies. Acquired by Distribution Access in 2010, Canamedia is now
part of a growing enterprise that offers all aspects of content Distribution worldwide,
Production and Production Services.

As the first Canadian company to pre-sell a movie of the week to a US network (CBS)
in prime time, Canamedia has continued to expand into production and co-production
with many of the Canadian, US and UK networks.

 
       
 

Productions over the years have ranged from TV movies and one hour drama series, to half hour children's drama series and numerous documentaries. Projects currently in development by Canamedia or it's producer clients range from documentaries, to kids, travel and lifestyle series.

 
       
 

Co-productions or co-ventures have been completed with BBC TV and Channel 4 in the UK, Canal+ in France, CBS and PBS in the USA, and Taurus Film in Germany. In Canada the company has co-produced with all the major networks. Details of previous productions and shows in development can be found in the catalogues on this website.

 
       
 
 

Distribution worldwide is one of our key strengths and as a major syndicator across Canada and the US, we are a leader in the new specialty channel and digital universe. In Europe, Asia and the far east, Canamedia's catalogue of programs gets wide exposure. Approximately 80% of Canamedia's catalogue is programming by independent Canadian producers. Apart from its high quality documentary catalogue, Canamedia has become one of the world's leading distributors of lifestyle programming and adventure/outdoor shows. Other categories licensed include drama series, TV movies, musicals, jazz, and children's programming.

 
       
 
 

In addition to Distribution and Production, Canamedia provides a wide range of Production Services as the exclusive supplier in Canada of the ITN Source news archive library and the music library Pump Audio providing stock footage and music. Other production services include digital encoding, DVD authoring, website design and content management.
