Summary
Diagonal View is a Multi Channel Network founded in March 2008[3][4] by Matt Heiman and Steve Carey, together with ITN.[2] Unlike many other MCNs who are primary aggregators of content, Diagonal View own and produce the majority of their own videos.

With separate teams working on different platforms, they are thought to be the largest digital content producer outside of the US.
