Radial Entertainment has purchased the New Dominion Pictures catalog for an undisclosed sum, expanding its owned content portfolio.
The transaction adds more than 600 hours of programming to Radial Entertainment’s library and includes such long-running investigative, true-crime, and paranormal franchises as “The FBI Files,” “The New Detectives,” and “A Haunting”.
Radial previously managed and distributed “The FBI Files” and “The New Detectives” on FAST endpoints domestically. Through this acquisition, Radial takes ownership of the underlying intellectual property of these titles, expanding the scope of its distribution to all rights, worldwide and in perpetuity. The deal also adds new titles to the Radial catalog, including the marquee ghost story anthology “A Haunting” and 17 additional owned unscripted series spanning automotive (“FantomWorks”), rescue (“Critical Rescue”), international crime (“Interpol Investigates”), and other sub-genres.
“Owning IP is the foundation of a durable content strategy,” said Jeff Shultz, CEO of Radial Entertainment. “In a world where distribution is increasingly fragmented, controlling both the asset and its global distribution allows us to maximize value over time. These are proven franchises with enduring demand. With full rights in perpetuity, including remake and production rights, we can both optimize the existing catalog across global platforms and actively develop new content, extending the life of these brands for decades.”
David Stockmeier, president of New Dominion Pictures, added, “this transaction is the culmination of co-founder Nicolas Valcour’s vision to continue to deliver high-quality, non-fiction programming to the world for years to come.”
Founded in 1989, Virginia-based New Dominion Pictures is a producer and distributor of nonfiction programming spanning true crime, paranormal, medical, military, history, and reality genres. Over more than three decades, the company has produced content that has aired in approximately 180 countries and has been recognized on RealScreen’s Global 100 list of top non-fiction producers.
