## History

[edit]

Dori Media was founded in 1996 by Yair Dori, who in the early 1990s started importing Argentinean soaps to the Israeli market, which became a huge success and led to the creation of cable channels, which dedicate themselves to air Latin American soaps.

In 2000 the production company Darset Productions is established in partnership with Danny Paran, Leora Nir and Dori Media Group.

In 2002, Mapal Communications, owned by Tami Mozes and Nadav Palti, signed a partnership with Yair Dori.

In 2003 - Dori Media Group establishes its international center in Zurich, Switzerland (Dori Media International) and establishes a production company in Argentina (Dori Media Contenidos).

In 2003 Dori Media also begins distributing its productions abroad through an external Argentinian distributor.

In 2005 Dori Media Group issues its shares to the public on the AIM stock exchange in London and becomes a public company.

In 2006 Dori Media establishes its global distribution company in Switzerland (Dori Media Distribution). At the same time, Dori Media Distribution Argentina is established in Argentina and Dori Media is recruiting a local sales team.

In 2006 the company also signs a partnership with Moshe Sadan and founds Dori Media Ot, a company for translations and dubbing for TV programs, conversions and other technical works in the media field.

In 2007 Mapal communications purchases all the shares of Yair Dori and becomes the holder of controlling interest in DMG.

In 2007 - Dori Media Group acquires additional percentages in Dori Media Darset and Dori Media Paran and completes its holdings to 100% in 2011.

In 2007, after winning the tender for HOT's movie and series channels, in partnership with Claire Elbaz, "Dori Media Spike" is established. In 2008, HOT channel activity begins. In 2019 the company ended its activity.

In 2011 Dori Media decides to exit the London Stock Exchange and delists following the trend that began after the economic crisis in 2008, in 2011 markets around the world continue to weaken and the stock markets fall.

In 2013 Dori Media starts its EPG activities.

In 2014 Dori Media establishes the first Multi-Channel Network in Israel - MeMeMe Studios. The company is engaged in the production and distribution of digital content for the Internet and initially via YouTube.

In 2013 Sony Pictures Television acquired 50% of DMG's Baby TV operations in Indonesia[1] and in 2014 acquired 50% of the VIVA and VIVA Plus channels and the VIVA Walla online free video-on-demand (FVOD) service in Israel.[2] The activity was transferred to a new company named Dori TLV. Following a successful period Dori Media acquires back SPT's 50% stake in Dori TLV in 2020/2021.[3]

In 2024 Telad Jerusalem Studios Ltd. acquired Dori TLV (including Dori Media Ot).
