About ALLIANCE:Alliance Atlantis co-owns, co-produces and distributes worldwide (excluding the U.S.) the very popular CSI franchise, which includes CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, its spin-off, CSI: Miami, and the newest addition to the franchise, CSI: NY.
Outside of the CSI franchise, Alliance Atlantis also acquires and distributes television programs to Canadian, American and international broadcasters, home video distributors and sub distributors, and produces a handful of in-house productions that align with the content needs of the Company's broadcast channels.
While we have largely exited the in-house production business, Alliance Atlantis is focused on ensuring the continued success of the CSI franchise and continues to make a significant and increasing financial and creative contribution to the Canadian production community every year by acquiring, commissioning and airing original Canadian programming for our broadcast channels. Alliance Atlantis' Showcase; is the only Canadian network, including the CBC, to air an entirely Canadian drama schedule in the heart of prime time.
