Corus Entertaiment

Corus Entertainment Inc. is a Canadian mass media company. The company was founded in 1987 as Shaw Radio, Ltd. as a subsidiary of Shaw Communications and was spun-off from Shaw in 1999. It has prominent holdings in the radio, publishing, and television industries. Corus is headquartered at Corus Quay in Toronto, Ontario.
Corus owns the animation studio Nelvana, and children's publisher Kids Can Press.

In May 2019, Shaw announced that it would sell its shares in Corus for roughly $500 million.
The company is known for many television series, including a massive load of video games, such as The Bearstein Bears, Maggie and The Ferocius Beast, Rollie Polie Ollie, and many other television series including the first 2 seasons of The Fairly Odd-Parents, The Backyardigans. They are also known for the distribution of their regular program adult television series, Fugget About It, and the Western-Japanese anime television series, Joseph and Chandler: Artist Mayhem.
