Blue Ant Media has traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange as BAMI since completing a reverse takeover of Boat Rocker Media Inc. on August 1, 2025, with Blue Ant shareholders holding approximately 73.5% of the resulting public company. As a listed company it has acquired MagellanTV (closed October 2, 2025, US$12 million) and Thunderbird Entertainment (closed January 28, 2026, ~C$89 million / US$63 million), which lifted fiscal Q3 2026 revenue to $125.6 million from $56.0 million a year earlier. It remains loss-making — a $17.5 million net loss in fiscal Q3 2026 including a $33.1 million non-cash broadcast-licence impairment — and has cut roles across its studios, rights and streaming units through 2026.
