Summary

Fremantle

United Kingdom · AI-generated

media corporate production distribution

FM is the autonomous system for FremantleMedia Limited.

What it's used for

  • The address space carries corporate infrastructure for a television production and distribution company, evidenced by the netname NET-FREMANTLEMEDIA and reverse DNS entries such as dummy.fremantlemedia.net.
  • The AS announces 768 IPv4 addresses across 2 prefixes with 2 observed neighbours, indicating a small, self-contained corporate network rather than a transit or access provider.
  • Traffic from this AS consists of internal corporate communications, media production workflows, and distribution endpoints for the company's global operations.

Notable

  • Registrants for the announced prefixes include FremantleMedia Limited and LU.BCE Ripe MGMT Team, with the latter associated with the netname CLT-UFA.
  • FremantleMedia Limited was formed in 2001 from the merger of Pearson Television and CLT-UFA, which explains the presence of the CLT-UFA netname in the inventory.
  • The address inventory is small and finely subdivided, consistent with an internal corporate estate for a multinational media group.

Exchange presence is recorded rather than inferred: the directory collected by Packet Clearing House (https://www.pch.net/ixp/data) on 2026-10-27, licensed CC BY-NC-SA 3.0. Transit is inferred from observed BGP paths, never declared by either party.

Classification and threat

Unclassified Not in the curated lists. Most of the ~80,000 allocated ASNs are not.

Spamhaus DROP

Not on ASN-DROP The network as a whole is not listed.

No DROP prefixes None of its announced space is on the DROP prefix list.

Spamhaus DROP ("Don't Route Or Peer") lists space and networks run by, or hijacked for, spam and cybercrime operations: 446 networks and 1,852 prefixes, as published 2026-10-27. A short, high-confidence list, so a match is worth taking seriously, and absence from it says little on its own.

FBI IC3

No IC3 indicators Nothing from the FBI IC3 feed.

IC3 threat data is alpha. Absence of an indicator is not evidence of good behaviour, only of absence from this one feed.
