Eldridge and MRC Announce Separation of Media Assets

Eldridge and MRC today jointly announced that they have completed the separation of combined media assets.

MRC, led by founders and co-CEOs Modi Wiczyk and Asif Satchu, will retain and control its existing operations as the leading independent studio, with three distinct divisions - Film, Television and Non-Fiction. MRC will also retain its stakes in Civic Center Media and T-Street.

Eldridge will retain dick clark productions, investments in A24, Fulwell 73, Sugar 23, and Luminate, as well as the Penske Media Corporation, which includes The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, Billboard, Rolling Stone, Vibe, Music Business Worldwide, Life is Beautiful, and the investment in South by Southwest. Eldridge will also remain as a significant minority shareholder in MRC.

“When we combined forces in 2018, we set out to accomplish an ambitious set of objectives. We are immensely proud of our team’s resulting success. The Live & Alternative group changed the model for awards shows, bringing them into the streaming age. Our Film, Television and Non-Fiction studio businesses have all experienced a quadrupling of their slates. And our minority holdings have enjoyed wonderful periods of growth,” said Satchu and Wiczyk. “We thank Eldridge for their continued partnership and wish all of our colleagues the very best for the future.”

“The announcement today marks a significant milestone for Eldridge and MRC, representing our commitment to building successful brands in the industry,” said Eldridge Co-founder, Chairman and CEO, Todd Boehly. “We are excited by the teams and strategy across our investments in digital media, film and TV production, focused on bringing thoughtful and dynamic storytelling to audiences across multiple platforms and through the power of live entertainment.”

A transition structure will be implemented over the next several months to ensure long-term stability and maximum growth for all the entities.
