Who owns what media in Canada
p2pnet news view Freedom | P2P:-“Don’t mean to put the tinfoil hat on but darn that’s a lot of control on what we see and hear!”
That’s TekSavvy CEO Rocky Gaudrault in a dslreports comment post slugged, “Got to love the media ownership/relationships!”
Subject? The CBC is featuring a media network map showing who owns what in Canada.
“The arrows show ownership and affiliate relationships, e.g. Torstar owns part of CTVglobemedia, which owns the CHUM radio network, which owns CKCE-FM in Calgary,” says the CBC, explaining:
The clusters to the left represent independent media with few or no relationships to other companies. Many specialty TV channels are joint ventures by two or more companies, so they appear clustered in the middle of the map.
The size of the nodes represents the number of immediate relationships, not the size of the company, e.g. there are many Metroland Community Newspapers so it appears as a large node, but they’re all owned by Toronto Star Newspapers Ltd., which in turn is owned by Torstar.
And in case you find the network map confusing, Rocky also points to an alphabetical Sources list of owners of Canada’s media
Now you know.
Or do you?
(Cheers, Rocky)
