The relationship with Shaw Communications
Corus Entertainment was formed from media assets originally owned by Shaw Communications. Both companies continue to be operated by the Shaw family. As a result, media reports have sometimes erroneously referred to Corus as a subsidiary of Shaw. In fact, Shaw and Corus are independent, publicly traded companies, with separate management teams and separate boards of directors.
On January 13, 2016, Corus announced that it planned to purchase Shaw Media, which consisted of the broadcast assets of the now-defunct Canwest (including the Global Television Network and its specialty channels), from Shaw Communications. The Shaw Media acquisition required regulatory approval from the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission as well as approval by Corus minority shareholders.[1] The sale was closed on April 1, 2016 as Global TV and its owned-and-operated stations were acquired by Corus.[2]
