Banijay Rights, a privately owned company headquartered in the United Kingdom and a division of Banijay Group, was founded in 1994. It employs approximately 100 individuals and reported $320.2M in revenue as of 2025. Functioning as a tier 1 media tech buyer, the company specializes in entertainment content rights. It operates as an independent global content distributor, managing a multi-genre portfolio comprising over 88,000 hours of programming.
Banijay Rights expanded its *Ninja Warrior* partnership with TBS on October 9, 2026. Previously, on October 8, Banijay Rights acquired worldwide distribution and licensing rights to the BBC children’s television series *Balamory*. This agreement expands Banijay Rights’ catalogue to include the programme and associated licensing opportunities, covering consumer products, live events, digital exploitation, and finished programme rights, ahead of Brand Licensing Europe. Also on October 8, Banijay Rights appointed Mark Woollard as Senior Vice President of Gaming & Gambling. This move follows the company’s merger with All3Media International and aims to maximize the distributor’s enlarged portfolio. Earlier the same day, UKTV acquired the UK rights to both seasons of the French detective series *Maigret* (12 x 45′) for its free streaming service U and linear channel U&Drama, as part of a wider 114-hour content deal with Banijay Rights.
