Overview
- Reuters-based reports say negotiations focus on combining Banijay’s Entertainment and Live operations with All3Media.
- Sources describe the talks as advanced with no agreement reached and the outcome uncertain.
- A merged entity would post roughly €5.7–6 billion in annual revenue based on 2024 figures and could receive new capital from RedBird IMI and All3Media.
- Banijay and All3Media declined to comment, and the talks began late last year after Banijay ended its pursuit of ITV Studios.
- The potential tie-up would create one of the largest producers, uniting libraries that include Big Brother, MasterChef, The Traitors, Midsomer Murders and Peaky Blinders.
