Corus buys Shaw Media
"Toronto-based Corus Entertainment is聽buying Shaw Media from Shaw Communications in a $2.65-billion deal. The move shuffles ownership of 19 specialty TV channels including Global, Food Network Canada, HGTV Canada, HISTORY, Slice, National Geographic Channel and Showcase聽between two companies that are controlled by the Shaw family. Corus also owns聽a network of radio stations and the聽Nelvana聽animation studio." (Source: )

"Given that the new CRTC rules will significantly change the way television channels are packaged and sold to consumers, a merger between these two broadcasting companies makes sense. What makes the outlook of this merger more promising is the fact that they are both owned by the Shaw family, which may limit the risk that Corus is getting a bad deal." 鈥擬aryJane Rabier
