Blue Ant Media Corporation is a Canadian multinational media company founded in 2011 by the former Alliance Atlantis executive Michael MacMillan and headquartered in Toronto, with offices in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Sydney, Halifax and Ottawa. It takes its name from the Blue Ant novels of William Gibson. The company has interests in television production, broadcasting through several Canadian specialty channels, streaming and publishing, mostly in factual content, and it has grown mainly by acquisition, beginning with Glassbox Television and High Fidelity HDTV and later taking in Cottage Life Media, Racat Group, MarbleMedia and MagellanTV. In 2025 it acquired Boat Rocker Media in a reverse takeover and, once that closed in August, began trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange. It then agreed to buy the studio Thunderbird Entertainment.
