KEW’s acquisitive nature and ongoing commitment to investing in long-term growth opportunities. 4East Media has a strong pipeline
of content that will further benefit from being part of the KEW family, realize operational synergies with access to our
distribution platforms and will be able to drive cost efficiencies given the strategic nature of the relationship with OHM.”

ideas is our passion and we look forward to collaborating with 4East to create a roster of hit shows.”
