Argentina Dori Media Contenidos,
Dori Media Group (previously known as Yair Dori International) is a production company founded by the Argentine–Israeli businessman Yair Dori. It has headquarters in Tel Aviv and in Buenos Aires.
Dori Media was founded in 1996 by Yair Dori, who in the early 1990s started importing Argentine soaps to the Israeli market, which became a huge success. And led to the creation of cable channels, which dedicate themselves to air Latin soaps.
After the soap opera Chiquititas became a huge phenomenon in Israel, Dori approached producer Cris Morena about developing a new project. At the time, she was seeking desperately for a financier to her new project, Rebelde Way. He accepted to invest in the project which ended up being a huge success in Argentina and a never before seen phenomenon in Israel. Afterwards, it was sold to over 50 countries and was remade by Mexico (Rebelde) and India (Remix), among others. He also financed another Cris Morena project Rincon de Luz which was not so successful in Argentina but was still extremely popular in Israel. Relationship between Morena and Dori started to turn sour when she did not accept to produce a third season of Rebelde Way and instead decided to produce Floricienta. Instead of counting with Dori to take care of the financial part of the project, Morena decided to work with RGB Entertainment instead which delimited Dori role to only deal with sales to East Europe. While Floricienta was a bigger phenomenon in Latin America and Argentina than Rebelde Way, it could not exceed the success of the predecessor in Israel and Dori and Morena parted ways.
He then started to co-produce with another Argentine companies. With Pol-ka, Dori Media produced Hombres de Honor, Padre Coraje, Sos Mi Vida and Dr. Amor. And with CENTRAL PARK PRODUCTIONS, the highly successful Lalola.
