2015-present
In 2015, Discovery Communications and FTN joined the team and changed the company's name to Camera & Lights LP (Limited Partnership). The team gained a recent member in 2017 with  TGP Media-Networks.

In 2017, Starz was acquired by Lionsgate.

The same year, DHX Media, Stingray Digital, TV5Monde, Disney-ABC Television Group, Corus Entertainment, Lionsgate, Turner Broadcasting System, AMC Networks, Tribune Broadcasting, All3Media, MGM Studios, Bell Media and Scripps Networks announced to pull their channels out of El Kadsre, in favour of launch of B2 in El Kadsre. They also left their partnership.

However, Epix remained from this exodus.

SBS Broadcasting B.V. launched its second channel in El Kadsre, SBS El Kadsre, which is a combination of SBS 6, SBS 9 and Net 5.

In June 2017, Discovery Communications, RTL Group, Mediaset, Canal+ Group, Rai, Mei Ah Entertainment, Television New Zealand, Sony Pictures Television Networks, Viasat, Sky plc, Televisa Networks, ProSiebenSat.1 Media Group, Lagardere Group and Atresmedia announced to pull their channels and leave the partnership.

Investigation Discovery will remain, due to Discovery and Camera & Lights LP holding seperate stakes.

That month, Camera & Lights LP announced that it was in danger, was nearing bankruptcy and went public in NASDAQ El Kadsre. Later on, most (95%) of the television show formats (from all the member companies of past and present), that were adapted, premiered on a temporary channel Glow (a game show block-ish), only to get cancelled immediately, due to Camera & Lights LP's financial problems.

The rest of the adaptations' pilots were sold to be broadcasted in B2 exclusively.

Suius M&E Networks has expressed interest in joining the partnership, while Viacom, CBS Corporation and 21st Century Fox have expressed interest in merging their Viacom/CBS Networks and Fox Networks El Kadsre arms (both based in El Kadsre) into Camera & Lights LP.
