Decode Entertainment
DHX Media (formerly Decode Entertainment) was a Canadian production company and distribution company. It was founded by Steven DeNure, Neil Court and John Delmage as Decode Entertainment in 1997, which produced kids shows (animated and live action) under it’s name. On May 16, 2006, Decode and Halifax Film announced that they would merge to form the holding company DHX Media.[1] Decode then became a subsidiary company of DHX, gaining distribution rights to Halifax Film shows in the process. In 2010, all DHX companies including Decode were all rebranded under the DHX name, with distribution transferred to DHX proper.
In 2011, DHX Media ceased producing content at the ex-Decode offices. DHX acquired Epitome Pictures in 2014, which assumed the name of DHX Studios in 2016, but this company had no relation outside the name.
