Boat Rocker Media Makes Significant Investment in Insight Productions

Goodmans LLP represented Insight in connection with the sale of a majority investment to Boat Rocker Media.  This investment enables Insight to increase and diversify its content offerings and move more aggressively into digital content while signifying Boat Rocker’s continued growth in the Canadian market and around the world. 

Under the new structure, Insight will operate as an independent business unit, with Boat Rocker providing capital investment in addition to business and strategic support.  The deal provides Insight with access to a global infrastructure, accelerating the development and monetizing of premium content for exportation outside of Canada while strengthening the incoming pipeline of formats and both scripted and unscripted content.  Further, the investment solidifies Boat Rocker’s position as a premier format and live producer in Canada.
