In 2020, as part of a corporate restructuring, the British distribution/management arm '''[[DRG]]''' became '''NENT Studios UK'''. In 2021, it was sold to [[All3Media]] and folded its operations to its international division.
'''NENT Studios UK''' was originally started out as '''DRG''', which stood for '''Digital Rights Group'''', and was originally formed by Ingenious in 2006 after purchasing Portman Film & Television. A year later, it bought the international division of Channel 4 and had other brands, namely i-Rights, ID Distribution and Zeal Entertainment. In 2011, the company's branding of subsidiaries phased out in favor of DRG's. In 2013, Ingenious sold DRG to MTG Studios, which in 2014, became part of Nice Entertainment. In 2020, it became '''NENT Studios UK''', which in 2021, was sold off to [[All3Media|All3Media]] and the company dissolved.
