BELL MEDIA

Bell Media is the mass media subsidiary of Bell Canada. Its operations include television broadcasting and production (including the CTV and A television networks), radio broadcasting (through Bell Media Radio), Digital Media, and Internet properties. The company in its current form was originally established as Bell Globemedia by Bell Canada and the Thomson family in 2001 combining CTV Inc., which Bell had acquired the previous year, and the operations of the Thomsons' The Globe and Mail. Bell sold the majority of its interest in 2006 (at which point the company was renamed CTV globemedia), but re-acquired the entire company, excluding the Globe, in 2011. In addition, Bell Media owns television/radio production studios and websites associated with all of the above properties, as well as the Sympatico.ca Internet portal previously operated through Bell Canada
