Debmar-Mercury
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Debmar-Mercury is a television syndication company that is currently a wholly owned subsidiary of Lions Gate Entertainment, which acquired the company in July 2006. Debmar-Mercury was formed from a merger of Debmar Studios and Mercury Entertainment.
It has syndication rights to Lions Gate's own library of films (such as the Saw series and 2005 Academy Award for Best Picture winner Crash) and TV series (such as The Dead Zone). It also distributes Tyler Perry's sitcom House of Payne, reruns of hit Comedy Central TV shows South Park (distributed for syndication in conjunction with 20th Television, which replaced Tribune Entertainment as co-distributor) and The Man Show (distributed exclusively for the G4 network), a number of movies from Revolution Studios, and more.
In November 2006, the company was awarded the syndication rights to Family Feud and industry rumors suggest that the company could also syndicate some classic Goodson-Todman shows. [1]
