Flying Bark bought by Belgians?
It appears what was once known as Yoram Gross Studios (now known as Flying Bark) in Camperdown (Sydney) then bought in error by EM (Germany) are now to be owned by Studio 100 (Belgium). A company that actually has a focus on children's entertainment!
The transaction is subject to the approval of the antitrust authorities in Germany and Austria, as well as the Bavarian Regulatory Authority for Commercial Broadcasting (BLM) and the Commission on Concentration in the Media (KEK).
Incredible that EM are the group who bought the Jim Henson Company for $680 million and the Henson family later bought it back for $78 million three years later.
