CosmoBlue Media is making bold moves in Canada. With a clear mission to deliver premium global content to local audiences, the company is forming strategic partnerships that promise to reshape how Canadians experience entertainment.
From acquiring the Cineplex Store to launching the all-new CosmoGO platform, CosmoBlue is building a diverse, multi-platform ecosystem, one that now includes everything from blockbuster movies and international indie films to live sports and world-class jazz. As new collaborations unfold, it’s clear this is just the beginning of a major expansion across the Canadian media landscape.
Acquisition of the Cineplex Store
CosmoBlue Media’s expansion in Canada took a major step forward with its acquisition of the Cineplex Store, a well-established platform beloved by Canadians for its vast library of over 10,000 titles, from blockbuster hits to rare indie discoveries. Rather than simply maintaining the platform’s legacy, CosmoBlue is set to transform it into something much bigger.
Rebranded as CosmoGO, the platform will serve as a flexible, multi-platform destination offering content through subscription (SVOD), transactional (TVOD), and ad-supported (AVOD) models. It’s designed to meet the diverse viewing preferences of Canadians while tapping into CosmoBlue’s deep global content partnerships and technical expertise.
“This represents a pivotal step in our mission to provide unparalleled entertainment experiences across multiple platforms,” said Loni Farhi, Co-founder and Group President of CosmoBlue Media (quote from cosmobluemedia.com). The acquisition doesn’t just expand CosmoBlue’s footprint, it reinforces the company’s long-term commitment to the Canadian media landscape.
Strengthening the Library: Major Studio Partnerships Secured
As CosmoGO builds momentum, it’s doing so with the support of some of the biggest names in global entertainment. CosmoBlue Media has confirmed content deals with all major studios, including Disney, Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount, Sony Pictures Entertainment, NBCUniversal, Lionsgate, Amazon, MGM, Elevation Pictures, and others. These partnerships ensure that CosmoGO’s library is packed with fresh titles, beloved classics, and exclusive new releases.
This deep bench of studio relationships gives CosmoGO a strong edge in delivering premium content across genres, from family favourites and blockbuster action to drama, comedy, and everything in between. It also reflects the confidence the industry has in CosmoBlue Media’s vision and capability as a global content distributor.
Backed by these partnerships, CosmoGO is not only bringing entertainment to Canadian screens, but it’s also building a powerful, future-facing platform designed to evolve with its audience and the industry.
Breaking into Sports: CosmoGO Partners with Fanatiz
CosmoGO’s latest move marks its official entry into the world of sports entertainment with a new exclusive Canadian partnership with Fanatiz, a premier international sports streaming platform. This collaboration brings a rich lineup of live and on-demand sports content to Canadian viewers, offering access to games and leagues from South America, Europe, Africa, and beyond, all in HD quality.
“CosmoGO’s partnership with Fanatiz is an exciting first step into the world of sports,” said Tanuka Roy, General Manager of CosmoBlue Media Canada (quote from cosmobluemedia.com). “We’re catering to passionate fans of both mainstream and niche sports. This is just the beginning.”
Fanatiz is known for delivering a fan-first experience, with content available across multiple devices and in various languages. From soccer fanatics following South American leagues to viewers looking for lesser-known sports content, the partnership meets a growing appetite in Canada for international sports coverage.
According to Juan Pablo Buscaglione, General Manager of Fanatiz, “There is a real appetite for niche content of all sports, and we are thrilled to partner with CosmoGO to extend our reach.” This deal strengthens CosmoGO’s position as a comprehensive destination for global entertainment, now enhanced with the energy and excitement of live sports.
Showcasing Global Culture: Oh! Jazz Joins the Lineup
CosmoGO isn’t just expanding into sports; it’s also deepening its cultural offerings through an exclusive Canadian partnership with Oh! Jazz, the world’s leading jazz streaming platform. Featuring over 1,300 artists and performances from legendary venues in Tokyo, Madrid, São Paulo, and beyond, Oh! Jazz brings a global stage of jazz music directly to Canadian viewers.
“We’re thrilled to bring Oh! Jazz into the CosmoBlue family,” said Tanuka Roy, General Manager of CosmoBlue Media Canada (quote from prensario.net). “This partnership brings something truly special to Canadian audiences, not just entertainment, but access to a living, breathing global art form that transcends language and borders.”
Oh! Jazz content will be available through CosmoGO, offering curated playlists, masterclasses, exclusive interviews, and standout concerts, including performances from renowned festivals like the Madrid Latin Jazz Festival and Japan’s Flamenco Jazz Festival. The platform’s hybrid model also supports the creative community: 35% of every subscription goes directly to the featured artists and venues.
The launch was marked by Oh! Jazz Global Stage Canada, a live concert series held at Cineplex VIP theatres in major cities like Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary, and Winnipeg, further highlighting CosmoBlue’s dedication to connecting global culture with local audiences. With more jazz events and exclusive content on the horizon, Canadian jazz fans have much to look forward to.
Looking Ahead: A New Era for Canadian Viewers
CosmoBlue Media’s recent moves signal something bigger than just a platform refresh; they mark the beginning of a new era in how Canadians discover and enjoy global entertainment. With CosmoGO now positioned at the intersection of film, music, and live sports, the platform is quickly becoming a cultural hub that reflects the country’s diversity and evolving tastes.
And this is only the beginning.
More partnerships, events, and content announcements are expected in the months ahead as CosmoBlue continues to evolve in Canada’s media landscape. Whether it’s streaming a concert from a jazz club in Madrid, catching a live soccer match from Argentina, or renting the latest Hollywood hit, Canadian audiences now have a single destination that brings it all together.
