Anthem Sports & Entertainment

Anthem operates as a diversified publisher and media owner. It acquires or develops content brands and channels, distributes them through cable, satellite, OTT and connected TV partners, and monetises the resulting audience through advertising and affiliate-style carriage agreements. It complements this with direct subscription products, rights licensing, film distribution, and B2B broadcast operations services for external media companies.

Anthem Sports & Entertainment is a Canadian media company that owns and operates a portfolio of television networks, sports and entertainment properties, streaming services, and related media assets. Its holdings include broadcast brands such as AXS TV, HDNet Movies, Fight Network, GameTV, and Game+, alongside owned content IP including TNA Wrestling and Invicta FC. The group has also expanded through acquisitions in film distribution and premium television, including Gravitas Ventures and the announced acquisition of Hollywood Suite.

The company makes money through a hybrid media model: carriage fees from distributors, advertising sales across linear and digital inventory, direct consumer subscriptions for streaming and premium content services, content licensing and rights distribution, and managed broadcast services for third-party media clients. Its customers therefore include both audiences consuming entertainment content and business buyers such as pay-TV distributors, streaming platforms, advertisers, and broadcasters outsourcing technical operations.
