Bell Media and Grandé Studios increase commitment to Québec content creation through new partnership

On November 18, 2020, Bell Media and Grandé Studios announced a new partnership that will bring increased resources to Québec's French-language content creation and production communities. Bell Media acquired a minority investment in the Montréal-based company, which provides production facilities, camera and lighting equipment rentals in Montréal and Toronto, and technical services to the local and international TV and film production industry. 

Canada's leading multimedia company with premier assets in television, radio, digital and out-of-home media, Bell Media is part of BCE Inc. (TSX, NYSE: BCE), the country's largest communications provider.

Gowling WLG advised Bell Media in this acquisition with a team that included Lorne Segal, Naïm Antaki and Georgi Paskalev (corporate/M&A) and Julie Desrochers (real estate).
