Saloon Media acquired by Blue Ant Media - CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Many, many congratulations to Saloon Media on their acquisition by Blue Ant Media. I am thrilled for Michael and team. Here’s an excerpt from Realscreen Magazine:

Following its launch in 2013, Saloon quickly made a name for itself in the factual space, with Michael Kot bringing his years of experience to the genre from his previous roles as a senior factual executive at eOne, Canwest and Alliance Atlantis. By 2014, the company had three successful series underway: Tornado Hunters for CMT (which started as a web series and turned into a 10-episode linear order), See No Evil, a returning series co-produced with the UK’s Arrow Media for Discovery ID U.S., and six-part UK-Canada co-pro Mummies Alive for History in Canada, Smithsonian Channel in the U.S. and Yesterday in the UK. Since then, it has produced 2017′s 8 x 60-min Hunting Nazi Treasure for American Heroes Channel, History in Canada and the UK’s More4 and service work on series including six-part miniseries The Kennedys for CNN and Raw TV.

It was the combination of high-quality production, international experience and complementary specialization to its prodco network that attracted Blue Ant to Saloon, Sniderman told Realscreen sister publication Playback in an exclusive interview.
