Vuori Media

Vuori Media (legally known as TV3 Media Group AS) is the European broadcasting division of Vuori, which owns and manages television and radio channels in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Spain and France, as well as the Overseas France and the Sub-Saharan Africa. 
It is headquartered in Oslo, Norway, and will move offices when Vuorensuu's construction is finished. It also has offices in London and Paris, the former where they broadcast some channels to Denmark.
==History==
It was formed out of Styhon Battersea's non-Discovery branded European broadcasting assets, and serves as a de facto successor to ​Nordic Entertainment Group​, Studio 100, Dreamia, TVN Group, Telefonica/Movistar+, SevenOne Brands, SevenOne Media (Switzerland), ProSieben Puls4, ProSieben.Sat1 Pay TV, ProSieben.Sat1 Media SE, Sport1 Medien GmbH, Discovery Italia, AMC Networks International, Discovery EMEA, Discovery Latin America, Discovery Networks Nordic (in Norway, Sweden and Denmark) and Groupe M6.
After Vuori's merger with Vivendi, Vuori Media France absorbed most of Canal+ Group, especially Canal+'s television broadcasting business including Canal+ Distribution and MultiThematiques. Studiocanal was spun off into a new division of Vuori, while Viasat Africa bought out Les Bouquets Canal+ & Canal+ Afrique (with the NoveGasy, Novelas TV and Sunu Yeuf channels).
In February 2021, 50% of Vuori Media was bought out by OWL Ventures.
