Any Moment Media Group (AMMG) has acquired the TV and FAST channel producer/distributor Dutchess Media and added additional services to its client offering, including co-productions with channels and brands, Web3 news and entertainment and additional FAST channels.
In the UK, the channel will be available on Samsung TV Plus and LG Channels and on Samsung TV Plus in The Netherlands. The company also secured FAST distribution deals in the UK and The Netherlands for its existing proprietary ad-supported streaming channel Spark TV, a channel featuring original influencer-produced content and live sports. “With Any Moment Media Group we wanted to expand upon Dutchess Media’s vision of providing channel creation and distribution services and include our vast collective experience in production, brand partnerships and play-out,” Arun Maljaars, CEO, said.
Former Dutchess Media and Insight TV executive, Maljaars serves as AMMG’s CEO, while Linn Adolfsson joins as Chief Creative Officer. Maljaars and Adolfsson will work alongside Matthew Carr, Chief Financial Officer, Mirko Oosthoek, Vice President of Advertising and Brand Partnerships and Aaron Ann, Director of Brand Partnerships. Victor Thompson is Technical Manager and Head of Scheduling. Rachel Yepes is VP Americas. AMMG is headquartered in The Netherlands with additional offices opening in South Africa and the US.
The newly formed Any Moment Media Group has recently signed a representation agreement with WaterBear Network, the first interactive streaming platform and digital publisher dedicated to the future of the plant. In addition, AMMG will provide support for WaterBear’s channel distribution efforts in the USA and facilitate co-productions with channels and brands. “Our strategic partnership with WaterBear for North America, new launch territories for Spark TV and kicking-off co-production projects exemplify just a few of our capabilities on a global scale. Look for much more from AMMG in 2023," Maljaars said.
