PROFILE |
 |
True to its name, French media firm Expand is growing. After selling its health-care communications unit in 1999, the company began focusing on its TV and film production operations. Its 2000 acquisition of French TV production firm Ellipse Programme (formerly a CANAL+ subsidiary) helped to secure Expand's position as a leader in French entertainment. Among the company's production units are Adventure Line Productions, DMD, and Ellipse International. Expand produces adventure and studio game shows, TV series, magazine programs, documentaries, and films. The company also is active in licensing, distribution, and music. Vivendi Universal owns 33% of Expand; investment group Finexpand and Expand's management own 20%.
