Canamedia is now the Canadian distributor of the Wireimage video library, the online library of stock, celebrity and red carpet footage.

‘We’re really excited to take on this new catalogue of celebrity footage’, says Les Harris, president of the Toronto production and distribution shop. ‘It has become something that most broadcasters now demand.’ Wireimage is a division of Getty Images.

Canamedia has also renewed its distribution agreement for the Pump Audio music library, a catalogue of indie bands that was acquired by Getty last year. Canamedia also distributes ITN Source, a news footage archive, plus other Canadian and foreign content.

The Wireimage deal runs to April 2011, the Pump deal until May 2011. Canamedia’s Lee Harris is responsible for licensing both libraries.
