INSIGHT TV and Off the Fence Spotlight Partnership Momentum during London Screenings Week

World Storytelling Media Group celebrates strong industry engagement in London

Insight TV and Off the Fence are in the middle of a busy and productive London Screenings and MIP London week, with teams meeting producers, buyers and platform partners across the events as part of the companies joint group presence under the newly formed World Storytelling Media Group (WSMG).

A message from our CEO, Viktoriia Tkachenko

“London Screenings has been an exciting and energising week for Insight TV and World Storytelling Media Group, and a special moment as we presented our shared mission in person for the first time. ​

As distribution becomes increasingly platform-agnostic, our collaboration with Off the Fence is an important step on our journey to becoming a true one-stop shop for producers in unscripted storytelling, helping premium factual content connect with global buyers and platforms more efficiently than ever.”

The partnership combines complementary strengths across the content value chain:

  • Off the Fence focuses on sourcing, developing and selling premium factual and unscripted programming to the global market
  • Insight TV provides a growing network of channels and platforms where that content can reach audiences worldwide.

Together, the collaboration creates new opportunities for producers and partners by extending the reach and lifecycle of premium IP across FAST, CTV, digital and traditional broadcast environments.
