In 2015, on the heels of several major international successes, KOTV made the decision to create KO Distribution to pursue its international ambitions. Today, KO Distribution represents a catalogue rich with programs produced by its parent company, as well as those of some of Quebec’s biggest production houses, resulting in the strategic promotion of Quebec-made creative content. Working with passionate and inspired local talent, we finance and distribute innovative television programs, notably scripted dramas, children’s programming, comedies, variety shows, game shows, TV magazines, and documentaries. Our mission is to distribute high quality content that reaches the largest possible audience worldwide by entertaining them.
Mia Desroches of Montreal-based KOTV outlines her plans for new division KO Distribution and how the international market for Québécois content is changing.
Montreal’s KOTV made a significant statement of intent in May as it officially launched its distribution arm, KO Distribution, and appointed former CBC/Radio-Canada exec Mia Desroches to lead it.
In the newly created role of VP of international distribution, Desroches is responsible both for pre-selling KOTV’s slate of shows and selling finished tape.
The former is a key area of focus for the producer-distributor as it looks to grow its international business and lock in additional financing for its projects, which span scripted, sketch comedy, unscripted and children’s content.
