LDS has licensed 200 hours of music documentaries from Shoreline, including deep-dive documentaries about iconic bands and artists such as AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, David Bowie, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Queen and Elvis Presley. These titles will be published on music channel Amplified, part of Little Dot Channels.
The remaining 300 hours come from The Asylum, renowned for cult scripted output including Sharknado and War of the Worlds. This slate will bolster LDS’s scripted YouTube offering, with content scheduled to roll out across the network in Q3 and Q4 2025, on channels such as Absolute Sci-Fi.
