Corus Entertainment

Corus Entertainment Inc. is a Canadian multinational mass media and entertainment conglomerate company headquartered at the Corus Quay in Toronto, Ontario. Formed in 1999 as a spin-off from Shaw Communications, it has prominent holdings in the radio, publishing, and television industries.
Corus has a large presence in Canadian broadcasting as owner of the national Global system (15 conventional stations), 39 radio stations, and a portfolio of 33 specialty television services. Corus' most popular specialty channels include the domestic Teletoon, YTV, Treehouse, W Network, Slice, and Showcase networks, and localized versions of Nickelodeon, Fox Channel (as Fox Spark), CMT, MTV, FX and National Geographic.
The second incarnation of Shaw's media division—formed from the properties of the bankrupt Canwest Global—was subsumed by Corus on April 1, 2016, giving it control of the over-the-air Global network and 19 additional specialty channels. In May 2019, Shaw announced that it would sell its shares in Corus for roughly $500 million.
